Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has explained why the club signed Marcel Sabitzer on loan after turning down opportunities to sign four other players - because he's followed his career for a long time.
Christian Eriksen's ankle injury is set to rule him out for three after the Danish midfielder limped out of Saturday's 3-1 win against Reading, forcing United to strengthen their midfield. Sabitzer was signed on loan from Bayern Munich after a last-minute transfer deadline day dash.
"Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions," said Sabitzer after a frantic day on Tuesday. "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.
