Ian Wright hints at Man Utd transfer dilemma after Erik ten Hag experiment pays off

Marcel Sabitzer's new Manchester United role in midweek impressed pundit Ian Wright but potentially paved the way for fresh problems at Old Trafford.

Austria midfielder Sabitzer joined on loan from Bayern Munich at the end of the January transfer window as cover for the injured Christian Eriksen. While Eriksen is closing in on a return to first-team action, the new arrival has been a regular fixture in matchday squads under Erik ten Hag.

Wednesday's victory over Brentford saw the 29-year-old thrive in a less familiar number 10 role, potentially strengthening his case for a permanent move over the summer after hinting at a switch. However, this could end up providing selection dilemmas for a manager who has regularly used Bruno Fernandes as the more advanced of his midfielders.
