Would he be a starter at United or rather a back-up?
I think he would be right in-between. Depending on game situation might start ahead of Eriksen some games, other times Eriksen might be preferred. Perhaps similar to how 2 of de brune, gundogan, and Bernardo Silva start for city. Allows for rotation and midweek adjustments.
Might play as an 8 or a bit deeper with Casemiro. Wouldn't play every game.
I think he would start. He must be good enough to displace Fred
What about Eriksen and Sabitzer? Considering Bruno and Casemiro are probably locked in - only one spot left.
I'm not actually a United fan so I don't know what Sabitzer's loan situation is. But I do watch a lot of them and Eriksen is definitely on his last legs. I think he becomes a bench player next season.
My take on their center midfield targets is that Mount is a good player and would be good for them but he still doesn't solve their problem of progressive carries and tight possession. They need a De Jong type player and Mount definitely isn't that. But the midfield is very weak so he's an upgrade on what they have at least
