Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves make same point over permanent Marcel Sabitzer transfer

Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves believe Marcel Sabitzer will struggle to make Erik ten Hag's starting XI at Manchester United when everyone is fully fit.

Sabitzer, 29, joined the Red Devils from Bayern Munich on loan in January after Christian Eriksen suffered an ankle injury. The Austria international has played 13 games for United since, but there is no option to make the move permanent this summer.

Scholes and Hargreaves, who were both part of United's midfield when they last won the Champions League in 2008, think Sabitzer will find it difficult to get ahead of Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in the pecking order if he signs a long-term deal at Old Trafford.
