Manchester United sign Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich
Manchester United have signed Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich until the end of the season.
The Austria international adds to United’s midfield options after Christian Eriksen was ruled out for three months with an ankle injury.
United were quick to contact Bayern over a loan move for the versatile 28-year-old, with the German champion open to the deal.
Sabitzer has seen his game time limited since joining Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2021.
Chelsea had also approached Bayern over signing Sabitzer on a permanent deal, but the Blues then made a breakthrough as they looked to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a British transfer record.
United were also interested in a loan move for the Netherlands international Ryan Gravenberch, but Bayern were reluctant to allow the 20-year-old to leave the club.
The Independent also reported that United considered loan moves for Leicester’s Youri Tielemans and free agent Isco.
