Manchester United signing Marcel Sabitzer once had a trial with parent club Bayern Munich that went so badly that his agent felt the need to apologise.
The Austrian midfielder has penned a six-month loan deal at Old Trafford and will provide more competition to a Red Devils midfield that has been hampered by an injury sustained by Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen. Despite a disappointing spell with Bayern Munich, Erik ten Hag ’s men are receiving a player of pedigree.
Sabitzer previously shone with Bayern’s Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig - his form being good enough to secure a switch to the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2021. It is not the first time that the midfielder has been in Bavaria, though.
