Manchester United confirm loan signing of Marcel Sabitzer Bayern Munich.
Manchester United have announced the loan signing of midfielder Marcel Sabitzer on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.
The Red Devils were forced to enter the market late in the January transfer window as it was revealed that Christian Eriksen will be out for up to four months with an ankle injury.
According to sources, the club began talks with Sabitzer on Tuesday about a possible loan move to Old Trafford for the duration of the season and were able to complete the deal before the 12 pm deadline after gaining an extension.
Speaking to the club’s official website after completing the move, Sabitzer said: “Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions. 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.
