If he played for United he'd probably play 40+ games. I don't think he'd get lost in the shuffle anywhere tbh. Maybe Chelsea because their midfield 3 is really locked into those positions (even though they need to start looking for someone to follow Kante) and at City too...but I don't think they'd even try to sign him.
I read previously that we were linked to Laimer if we don't sign Tchouameni and that makes sense to me. He would play a ton and he fits our tactics.
While that would almost certainly be true in the short term, a club like United is much more likely to spend money on an upgrade in a year or two than is a club like Dortmund…plus you never know if a move will go all Sabitzer/van de Beek.
The interviewer asked about how Werner & Sabitzer’s moves play into his thinking and Laimer said that he does think about their experiences going from central figures at Leipzig to secondary or even tertiary players at their new clubs.
So I think that he’ll look at not just where he can play a key role next season, but where he will be a key player moving forward as well…which is why I got the feeling from the interview that he is leaning towards Dortmund over Bayern or any of the EPL teams he’s been linked to.
