Erik ten Hag names new leader at Manchester United

Ten Hag Erik ten Hag Marcel Sabitzer Christian Eriksen Manchester United Crystal Palace

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has suggested that the club have signed a new 'leader' in Marcel Sabitzer, with the Austrian international having arrived at Old Trafford on transfer deadline day.

Ten Hag confirmed that the midfielder - who signed for United on loan from Bayern Munich for the rest of the season - would be included in the squad for United's Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon. The 28-year-old was recruited late in the January transfer window following Christian Eriksen's injury set-back.

Sabitzer made 24 appearances in all competitions for Bayern in the first half of the season, but only seven of those came as a starter in the Bundesliga. Despite this, the midfielder has still played more than 180 times in the German top flight and has featured on 68 occasions for Austria.
