Sabitzer discusses midfield roles
Marcel Sabitzer's versatility has proven to be a key asset for Erik ten Hag's side since his January arrival from Bayern Munich on loan.
Initially beginning in a deeper role following his move from the Bundesliga, Marcel has also been deployed in a more advanced position during his 17 appearances for the Reds so far.
The Austria international started the 1-0 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford last Sunday, and was introduced as a second-half substitute in Thursday's 1-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion, as Ten Hag continues to rotate his midfield to best suit each game's needs - and cope with the busy fixture schedule.
In a recent interview with Premier League Productions, Sabitzer was asked how he has found English football, as United approach our final five Premier League games of the season - starting today (Sunday) against West Ham United.
Sabitzer: The Premier League is intense!
Marcel Sabitzer says English football is 'different' to the Bundesliga, but he believes it suits him...
"[The Premier League is] very intensive and [has] a lot of transitions," he began. "[It's] hard, but yeah, I've got experience in German league and now in the Premier League and I can say it's a different way of football.
"But I think it suits me and I really enjoy it.
"I think I came [at] the right point. A good team, good manager, calm around the club. So, yeah, we're in a good way and I'm very happy being here."
The versatile midfielder was also tasked with choosing which of the midfield positions he prefers to play in.
"I think I can play [as a] six, as an eight, [and] as a 10," he said. "I played it here - I started as a six when Casemiro was suspended. I had to adapt quickly and I think I did quite well.
"And yeah, in a few matches I played like an eight, like a 10. I try to help the team in the best way I can and I think I did it. So yeah, it's no problem for me.
Which is Sabitzer's best goal?
Player highlights | Marcel Sabitzer has now scored three United goals and they're all top, top finishes...
"I cannot say 100 per cent [which is my favourite] because I played a lot of positions in my whole career and I cannot say I'm enjoying it the most as the no.10 . So it depends on the game.
"Sometimes, you have a good game and you're better there in the no.10 position. But I think I can feel the connection with the offensive players here with the front three and yeah, I have good movements, good ability, good runs behind, and I think I can help on this position in the team.
"I'm happy wherever the manager puts me in."
