Manchester United loanee Marcel Sabitzer is unable to choose his preferred position for the Reds after showing his versatility at Old Trafford.
Sabitzer was initially signed by the Reds on deadline day to address the injury which Christian Eriksen picked up. However, when Casemiro was suspended he filled the gap left in defensive midfield.
Supporters were impressed with the Austrian's ability in a more advanced midfield role, particularly during the draw with Sevilla where he bagged a brace. But for Sabitzer, he is just happy with helping Erik ten Hag's men wherever he plays.

In an interview with Premier League Productions via the club's official website, the 29-year-old said: "I think I can play [as a] six, as an eight, [and] as a ten. 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 ten.
"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.
"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 number ten. So it depends on the game.
"Sometimes, you have a good game and you're better there in the number ten 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." Sabitzer will be hopeful of returning to the starting line-up when United travel to West Ham on Sunday evening.
