Sabitzer

Can Manchester United strike a late deal for FC Bayern's Marcel Sabitzer? And should they?

It is absolutely essential that Manchester United bring in a midfield reinforcement, especially with Eriksen sidelined for a minimum of 12 weeks. It was clear, even before the injury took place, that Manchester United would need to reinforce to provide options to rotate for next season. The Denmark international has occupied the slot next to Casemiro in a double pivot that has seen a transformation occur in Manchester United’s midfield. Occupying a very similar position to Eriksen, the Austria international is seemingly the perfect replacement in Manchester United’s midfield. The Red Devils have a mass amount of games coming thick and fast, which means they will be playing minimum twice a week until early March. And so Manchester United, late last night, opened up their net across Europe to see who would be available on a loan deal.

Liverpool have repeatedly got the better of Manchester United in the transfer market but look set for a quiet deadline day.

But with United opening the door to the possibility of a loan transfer, they’d be foolish not to consider such a switch themselves as they look to resurrect their campaign. But with Liverpool in desperate need of a new midfielder themselves, could they make their own late swoop for the Austrian? [Bellingham claim, Konate injury, Sabitzer talk and latest transfer deadline day deals](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfer-deadline-day-live-26113505) [Roberto Firmino](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/roberto-firmino) reportedly had a medical booked with United, only for the Reds to swoop in and steal his signature in the summer of 2015. The 28-year-old has struggled for game-time with Bayern in recent months, finding himself limited to just seven Bundesliga starts - the last of which came in early October. But now the Bavarians are ready to let Sabitzer leave on loan or permanently, with the club's sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic, reportedly in talks with both the Red Devils and Chelsea. But their options are a mixture of out-of-form, ageing, injury-prone, out-of-contract, or raw youngsters. Meanwhile, United would reportedly fail in efforts to steal Virgil van Dijk from under the Reds’ noses in January 2018. A highly-versatile player, he has predominantly played as a central midfielder for Bayern.
