We were linked around the Rangnik days so the scouting team would be aware already as he was available on a free or little cost and chose to go to Bayern.Sky suggesting United have tracked Sabitzer since the summer and this is more opportunistic rather than totally random.
If he was any good why doesn't bayern play him?Interested to know where people rank him in the below section.
Best player first.
Bellingham, Enzo, De Jong, Eriksen, Sabitzer, Fred
Anyone think he's better than Eriksen as a starter in CM with Casemiro?
In your defence, this is the first time I've seen this news today and I have the benefit of an afternoon's worth of hindsight but.... Heh.Very sure our name is in it for clicks
But this complete sensibility doesn't make headlines and doesn't make us look like we've shat ourselves."Panic buy" is an overly negative term in this context, as it implies a response driven by fear, lack of planning or some fault on the club's part.
When in this case we simply didn't need to sign a midfielder this January and could happily have waited until the summer. Then Eriksen got injured, which changed our needs. And we've responded with this deal.
It's a last minute deal because the need arose at the last minute, but there doesn't seem to be any particular sense of panic or fault involved.
He's a Ander Herrera type player. Really good engine, works very hard but doesn't have amazing passing ability or vision like Eriksen does. Definitely a better footballer than McTominay and Fred though.Well. At least its another body.
Is he even any good?
You're right, he's a bit desperate: do not want.has to be really odd though for him to just pack up that quickly and jump on a move to another country to play football for only 3-4 months
Jesus Christ I know we need bodies and i fully trust ETH but thats wild. Hate him with a passion and I'm always happy when he doesnt play in the NT. Absolute tosser that guy.
Still hope he turns out decent at least.
Option to buy apparentlyGlad its only a loan.
We will need to bring in some younger players in the summer and continue the ETH rebuild.
I don't remember him in the Leipzig team but Olmo and that Hungarian lad stole the show most games I watched. What kind of midfielder is he?Midfielder that played for Leipzeig and knocked us out of the CL a few years ago. Signed for Bayern when his contract ran down.
Everyone is excited because he's actually a quality player and will help soften the Eriksen blow.
I'm always amazed how many long time posters here don't actually watch much football other than United.Amazed how many people don't know who Sabitzer is.
Sabitzer was talked about all summer as a player that fit the player profile for EtH as a mid until he signed Eriksen. Seems a quite logical move actually.Sky suggesting United have tracked Sabitzer since the summer and this is more opportunistic rather than totally random.
The expert on Netherlands, Rome, and the German language.
Not really saying much thoughHe's a Ander Herrera type player. Really good engine, works very hard but doesn't have amazing passing ability or vision like Eriksen does. Definitely a better footballer than McTominay and Fred though.
It'a only this season he's played two games from what I saw. He played 40 times last season. Don't know what happened?If he was any good why doesn't bayern play him?
Thats my first and foremost question.
Daddy Murtough working his magic again….We got this done in a few hours.
Its been repeatedly answered in the thread and by Bayern fans mateIf he was any good why doesn't bayern play him?
Thats my first and foremost question.
It really is good business. Bayern really do know how to stockpile great players. I think this lad is built for the PL. He’s tough industrious and capable of playing a classy pass. Obviously long term these signings aren’t the best but we are making do quite well. We seem to be signing the right profile of mentality for the squad too.I wouldn't be surprised if we buy him in the summer. That's magnificent business right there in the midst of Eriksen's injury.
Murtough got hammered last year but he's done a good job in the last 12 months. We move a lot quicker these days, or at least it seems that way.Daddy Murtough working his magic again….
budesliga banned bayern from playing him too often as he’s basically a cheat code.If he was any good why doesn't bayern play him?
Thats my first and foremost question.
Think Fred style energetic CM but with a bit more passing quality. He's a fantastic replacement on such short notice for Eriksen as he's going to provide way more legs in midfield.I don't remember him in the Leipzig team but Olmo and that Hungarian lad stole the show most games I watched. What kind of midfielder is he?
To be fair, Eriksen has been struggling for a while, we needed this with or without him.
AgreeMurtough got hammered last year but he's done a good job in the last 12 months. We move a lot quicker these days, or at least it seems that way.
Glad to hear rehab working wellMurtough got hammered last year but he's done a good job in the last 12 months. We move a lot quicker these days, or at least it seems that way.
Fair enough, he should improve us then. We've needed legs in the middle all season. If he's coming from Leipzig he'll know how to play our game.Think Fred style energetic CM but with a bit more passing quality. He's a fantastic replacement on such short notice for Eriksen as he's going to provide way more legs in midfield.
Depends on the team we're facing, but he also gives us an extra option as an attacking midfielder if Bruno needs a rest which is nice.Anyone think he's better than Eriksen as a starter in CM with Casemiro?
He really isn’t, and even if you should think so, what’s the point of sharing this with the world?He’s an ugly fecker, hope he can play a bit to make up for it
Some outlets reporting there is a buy option.Slightly disappointed with the news thst it is straight loan without buy option
