It's smart for Bayern not to have an option to buy here...if he stinks we wouldn't exercise the option. If hes great, they'll probably be able to get a higher fee than the option in the summer from us. It's a no-brainer for them.
Marcel Sabitzer | Signs for United

Pretty much all of ETH’s boys went straight into the side. Casemiro was the exception and that seems to be entirely because he was a club signing that ETH only acquiesced on, once the club managed to convince him to stop forlornly waiting under De Jong’s balcony.
Very excited at the prospect of seeing him pull on a Utd shirt. According to many Bayern fans, he’s an excellent midfielder, but frustrated by the rotation system they have and subsequently left on the bench since his move from RB Leipzig.
Fair enough. My Twitter scans suggested otherwise!
I mean, De Gea, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Bruno and Rashford are all ahead of him on that list. Until about a week ago Dalot was also on that list. I just think at a certain point that moniker stops working, his drop off from with his competition is nowhere near the others so I can’t use that title for him, personally.
Post not poster my good sir.
I’m far more likely to comment to something I disagree with, no point just sitting there going THIS when somebody says something I agree with, it adds literally nothing.
We'd been working on Casemiro for weeks, I doubt EtH had any reluctance.
And Eriksen would agree to do that to bring in competition?
Feet wet.
Some of those airplanes are crashing into each other.
Just watched some youtube videos on him. He looks bloody awesome. very good at shooting and scores Plenty, especially free kicks over the wall. Technically looks excellent and can dribble and tackle. Bayern must have some shit hot midfielders to let him go out on loan.
I have no recollection of this guy playing against us when we played leipzig. THen again, I cant recall what I had for breakfast either 
Fantastic.
Tell me more about Sabitzer if you may my good sir @Hansi Fick
This is a really smart signing, wtf happened to us?
Dominated us.I have no recollection of this guy playing against us when we played leipzig. THen again, I cant recall what I had for breakfast either
Worse defensively than Pogba, less on the ball and dictating than I was hoping for after his great run at Brentford, but he's our only midfielder (other than Bruno who plays in AM instead) who plays the position concentrating on attack. And he's had enough quality in his final ball to get lots of assists. So he's been important, but due to him being an attacking player in that position rather than players who will leave us less exposed defensively but probably dont have the final ball that he's provided, such as McTom and Fred.
I'm a big fan of his so I expected more. I wanted us to sign him when he was at Ajax. Especially after he scored against us with his left. And then when he was at Spurs. I always imagined he would do more than he has done so far.
Feck me, put him on tomorrow.
Merson says it’s a panic…
I'm almost emotional about this in a childish way. First Austrian playing for United. You better perform son
I think he was happy for him to be signed in the end, but if it was De Jong or Casemiro, he would have had De Jong every time.
Great bit of business. Would’ve been nice to have gotten an option to buy included just incase he does have a really successful loan spell but whatever. The situations looking a lot less bleak now than when the Eriksen news first broke.
Scary watching isn't it.
The amount of air traffic is staggering.Somebody put him out of his misery. Neuter him. Make him listen to Biden for 2 hours. Drop him amongst coyotes. Stuff him with acid. Leave him in a room with Boehly. Just do something.So let me get this straight. I'm obviously batshit crazy, so please show me the way.
Our team is on a roll, but everyone is aware we're a couple of injuries away from panic stations. January comes and it's almost gone when one of those dreaded injuries happen. We reach out to Munich on the last day of the window to loan us a CM.
Were we "lucky" that Eriksen was injured in January as opposed to February?
Are we damn efficient in getting a quality loan in just a day?
Are we just a tad incompetent for getting into this position in the first place?
See, I don't think Sabitzer was only made available for loan today. Maybe he was? Help me out here. I think Eric wanted another CM badly this Jan, but only got his wish after a key player was injured.
This kinda makes me angry, but as I said, I'm just batshit crazy.
Don't get me wrong, I like Sabitzer
Thanks!
Of course he is fecking tired. It was literally his idea, literally.
Yeah, I've always been a fan too and don't really agree with your analysis. I think he's been the perfect foil to Casemiro and our flaws more to do with only having 1/3 of the front line showing consistent form. I think if we had a fully functioning front 3 the CMs would look even better.
superb
Woodward left.
Nothing/noone comes free.
You seem to be trying to argue. Let’s just leave it there.
Missed the chance to get him on for tomorrow night. Fecking state of this club
welcome mr Austrian. Let’s put another shrimp on the barbyyyy.

Have we had an Austrian play for us before? I’m thinking of a keeper maybe
Proper work from the club.
I hope he’s great and then signs permanently
No buy option
Yeah ticks a lot of boxes as a box to box midfielder. Good energy and work rate, pressing. Very good link up play and calm in possession. Not so much a distributor like Eriksen but lot more press resistant
I'm also in disbelief rather than happy. Great business this
I only have one question - does he have that dawg in him?
