Manchester United Swoops for Loan Deal for Bayern's Sabitzer

Manchester United have secured Austria international forward Marcel Sabitzer on loan for the remainder of the season in a deadline day deal.

The 28-year-old moves to Old Trafford from Bayern Munich where he has made 24 appearances in the 2022-23 season.

The deal comes after Christian Eriksen was confirmed out for three months with an ankle injury.

United had been linked with free agent Isco, Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez and Yannick Carrasco and Olympique Lyon’s Houssem Aouar, but opted for the Austrian.

“Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions,” Sabitzer said.

“From the moment I heard about this opportunity I knew it was right for me. I am a competitive player; I want to win and help the club achieve its aims this season.

“I feel that I am at my peak as a player, and that I can contribute a lot of experience and energy to the squad.

“I am excited to start with my new team-mates and manager and to show my qualities to Manchester United fans.”

United’s only January signing had been Dutch striker Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley, having released Cristiano Ronaldo in late November after a fallout.

Red Devils football director John Murtough said: “Marcel is a player that we have watched for a long time. The opportunity arose quickly, and we knew that he was someone with the ability and character to make an impact.

“He adds further quality to our squad and experience to the dressing room, and all of us are pleased to be welcoming him to Manchester United.”
