Marcel Sabitzer could cost Manchester United as little as £18m (€20m) to sign permanently, according to a German report.
The midfielder has played seven times for United since his January switch from Bayern Munich, from whom he is on loan until the end of the season. He is due to miss Thursday night’s Europa League clash with Real Betis due to an unspecified knock.
Sabitzer has made four starts and has pleased fans with his first steps at Old Trafford. The Austrian had been on United’s radar for some time and the club decided to take the plunge on deadline day after learning that Christian Eriksen would be out until at least April with his ankle injury.
