Surely he'd favour United over Chelsea, if it comes down to it? Play for a better manager, in more competitions, likely guaranteed starter, play alongside a better player in Casemiro, and in a better stadium.

Why can’t we do the loan with option to buy in the summer to get a few players done rather than upfront money now when we don’t have it? Surely it’s an option we can use.
Yeah not our fault you haven't got Caicedo or Fernandez deals sorted YET
Surely any player being approached by Chelsea now is thinking there isnt going to be consistent game time involved?
If it’s between us and Chelsea, we’re fecked
He'll go to Chelsea then. They haven't done us on a deal yet.
Is this just a loan? No option to buy? What’s his style of play like?
Chelsea 
Honestly so excited by the prospect of him. Never mind a stop gap, I'd try get him permanently with everyone fit. Very good player.

He'd be stupid to go to Chelsea on loan if the rumours are true and he has a choice.
If he comes to Utd he'd start games and has the chance of winning at least one cup.

Would assume Bayern want guaranteed money and we don’t want to commit to buying an injury replacement. Stick an obligation on him and if he’s shit we still have to shell out in the summer.
Why?
OOOOH ITS GETTING TASTY!!
Wouldn't mind sa bit of that!
That's where you do an obligation to buy if he plays say 15 games.
Loan with option to buy would be ideal
These accounts work fast!
The long haired one will choose us, I can feel it.
What’s paul Merson on about! He wasn’t on our radar beginning of January and it’s panic! Well obviously we’ve just lost a crucial midfielder for months! Things change you clown!
I actually have watched the Bundesliga a bit this season because Union Berlins progress has been a delight to watch. Sabitzer is very comfortable on the ball and he is physical and he can score. He would compliment Casemiro enough to help us the rest of the year comfortably.
Yeah we don’t need to buy him. A loan will do.
Could be a cracking signing this.
Replacement for Eriksen rest of this season and then he can displace Antony next season if he doesn't vastly improve.

because they’ll outbid whatever we’re willing to pay
It's clear we need a body in midfield given the injuries and lack of depth but won't be too excited. Not much to lose with a squad player from Bayern. Surprised Klopp hasn't been interested given they've been desperate for a midfielder.
Add the Atletico Madrid clause in at "x" amount of minutes per game as well, and make sure you sub him every single match before he makes those minutes
Not necessarily. If it's a short-term loan option, he's got a shot at winning 3 cups with us vs nothing with Chelsea as he can't play for them in the Champions league, so United definitely more attractive.
No mention of Bayern sanctioning a permanent transfer yet, which is where Chelsea would likely blow us out of the water with their financial muscle.
Why don’t he talk about Chelsea spunking millions on a player that only signed for Benfica in July.
I know, I think they just make videos of players ahead of time then release them when and if there is transfer speculation.
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?
Good to hear this.
This is good sign for us
He wants to play, why go to Chelsea who have 400 midfielders?
It's Chelsea.
They'll blunder in at the last second and offer treble whatever we have.
I still think we'd be the more attractive offer but it depends on what Sabitzer wants.
It’s a loan deal
Would be as good as we could have hoped for following on from the Eriksen news. I think he's similar in style to Fred, but better technically.
We'll still miss Eriksen's creativity and guile, but will at least get a lot more energy and dynamism in midfield.
If he beds in well, a reasonable deal in the summer is probably likely, and he'd be a really useful squad player.

Thats why we should go for the option to buy. If he does well we'll want to keep him
Very good player.
Good idea.
Not as creative as Eriksen, but he would be another worker in midfield.
Good mentality too.
Hope it will be done.

Too good to be true!
