Finding a midfielder with Eriksen's mould and skillset on deadline day is mission impossible.
Signing a midfielder with some pedigree is good enough for me. If it means Casemiro and Bruno have to adapt then so be it.
Marcel Sabitzer | Signs for United

We have more. It doesn't matter when the German window closes if they are selling a player.
Chelsea are an omnishambles so there's no chance they'll gazump us on any transfer that doesnt involve a big transfer fee.
I mean I'd rather him than no signing and having to play McTominay. So I'm pleased if this goes through.
Should be good enough to slot alongside Casemiro and Fernandes I'd imagine.

81 overall rating on fifa, must be decent surely.
For all we know Utd knew the extent of the injury 24 hours ago and are just releasing it now as Sabitzer is about to get over the line. Still fast obviously.
Bayern that are letting him go for free? He barely gets a sniff there, he's been nothing but a squad filler.
Reckon he'll be useful for us alongside Casemiro, if we get him in on loan?
I haven't seen him play since his RBL days where he looked more like a hard running AM with an eye for goal. Think he played on the right a lot and had a decent cross?
Completely different kind of player to Eriksen so the manager will have to tinker with the game plan, but he strikes me as a good addition to the options we currently have at CM. Or maybe more an option to cover Bruno, especially with DvB out too?
I hope we sign him and proves him wrong, Merson is asking to be proven wrong.
He’s right in saying Sabitzer doesn’t get on for Bayern but look at the midfield Bayern have that keep him out of the team. With a run of games beside Casemiro he will be a great addition for the rest of the season. If it doesn’t work out then it’s only a loan and lost wages, well worth the risk.
We really should have gotten someone like Sabitzer in the summer. We needed another midfield body.
Guarantee he had never heard of Sabitzer. Probably had a quick look on his wiki page during the ad break.
If his father is a better player than McTominay we would happily take him.
Sabitzer would be a surprisingly smart signing by United. Having been trained in that RB Leipzig pressing style, he brings energy and work rate to midfield. However, he's also a good passer and striker of a football.
Sabitzer would be the Fred upgrade we have probably been searching for. Someone who's got energy but who can get the ball forward competently.
Didn't realise our recruitment bods were capable of this kind of coherent planning!

people havent actually watched him then post shit like that.He's never watched Sabitzer in his life. Merson is a disgrace that he's allowed give an opinion on TV
what point are you making?
do you think Bayern will just let us have him despite Chelsea offering more money?
This would actually be one of the better deals for a panick buy, not opposed to this.
We are on deadline day and found out Eriksen is out for the season basically, so yeah you adapt and find somebody so that Fred and Casemiro aren't forced to play every single minute. Sabitzer is kind of like a blend of Fred and McTominay I'd say. Attacking box to box, gets shots off, moves with the ball, presses it a lot but yeah not too much of a playmaker. We adapt though. I'd say it's as good as we could possibly have hoped for, equal to tielemans but provides different qualities where tielemans would be closer to being like for like.
They're not letting him go for free though are they?
Passed the “did not train” milestone

yeah probably correct
the famous one for me is Andy Cole. No links and suddenly boom, in Manchester contract signed
but this was before social media so maybe a lot easier back then to keep things quiet
I know ye, he chats so much crap that guy.Yeah, you literally panic when shit hits the fan like it has today, what else we meant to do go back in time 2 weeks?
Have you seen Bayern's depth (centre forward position withstanding) ? Eriksen would barely get a sniff there.
They are already on standby commander!
No idea why I've been so invested in this.
I avoided Sancho, FDJ, Sanchez, Vidal, all of them feckers.
This one got me hooked.
Bayern and United don't have a bad relationship, ten hag worked there in the past too. It helps.
I guess we are not in a position to pick what we want as a replacement for Eriksen. Not that we know what options are out there, but this does look like a decent one.
I would've loved it if he were to come in before Eriksen's injury as 3rd choice behind Eriksen, and push McT out of the rotation.

The point is your example is flawed
Merse definitely thought Sabitzer is something you take for heartburn.
He'd be an okay squad player same as Sabitzer, but Bayern start with Kimmich, Goretzka and also have Musiala. Very few midfielders are breaking in there. Sabitzer and Gravenberch barely get a look in.
Sabitzer does have legs. He’s by far not the quickest midfielder, but he is more or less Ok in this regard.

Will be our best signing from Bayern in the past 10 years. Doesnt take much to beat Bfs.
Don't think this is true. Eriksen only completes 78% of his passes. He does definitely help us break the lines and provide creativity.
Init. They’re obviously panic buying because they’re in a state! But nothing gets said. We’re panic buying because we’ve lost a player.
