Manchester United were not expecting to do any more business in the January window, but the injury of Christian Eriksen has forced their hand.
The Manchester Evening News understands that United are exploring a deal for Marcel Sabitzer on loan before the deadline at 11pm. The 28-year-old midfielder currently plays for Bayern Munich but reportedly desires more game time after falling down the pecking order.
The midfielder is seen as a hard worker and a leader, and his manager Julian Nagelsmann has praised the Austrian midfielder's passing ability in the past. He could be the perfect replacement for Eriksen in the short term.
