Thomas Muller has admitted that the Bayern Munich players were "surprised" by Marcel Sabitzer's deadline day loan move to Manchester United.
United, who will be going in search of a 13th successive home win when they welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, swooped for Sabitzer on Tuesday after it emerged that Christian Eriksen faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury. The Dane could be out until early May because of an ankle problem.
United are understood to have completed the deal to sign Sabitzer in the space of just 12 hours, meaning they had to act fast to get it over the line ahead of the window slamming shut. United announced Sabitzer's arrival at 12:10am on Wednesday morning, having filed a deal sheet before the 11pm deadline.
