Alarm at Manchester United! Eriksen out for several months. Bayern Munich midfielder could come in

Christian Eriksen is expected to be out for several months due to an ankle injury he sustained during Saturday’s FA Cup match against Reading. This is forcing the Manchester United management to act, with Fabrizio Romano saying they are looking for a new signing, which could be Marcel Sabitzer.

The Danish midfielder had to withdraw during the second half of the cup clash with Reading, which the Red Devils dominated 3-1, when he injured his ankle in a duel with striker Andy Carroll, who did not finish the match even with a penalty.

Manchester United announced today on their website that according to the first estimates Eriksen will probably be out of action until the end of April, which is a problem for Erik ten Hag given his importance.

After all, the Danish midfielder has become an integral part of United’s starting line-up. Moreover, he has assisted his teammates seven times for goals in the Premier League. His absence from the pitch will no doubt have an impact.

Sabitzer is not playing and wants to leave

Of course, the club’s management also feels this, so they have started looking for possible alternatives and have found one in Bayern Munich, with whom they are addressing the feasibility of a transfer of Sabitzer, who is reportedly unhappy at the German club.

Of course, this is not surprising, as he has been with the Bavarian side for over a year and a half, mostly only playing a few minutes. But the competition in Julian Nagelsmann’s team, who brought the Austrian midfielder from his former place of work, is immense.

This transfer could happen. However, it is up to Bayern Munich whether they will be willing to lose a player like this at the last minute without a possible replacement or whether they will still look for someone.

While the experienced central midfielder is not as technically equipped as Eriksen, he is a bit more complex and the role of the Danish midfielder could easily be taken over by others.

Definitely a suitable signing for Manchester United, and one who is also very likely to finally show his potential.
