Rio Ferdinand has hailed Manchester United 's recruitment team after they acted quick to bring in Marcel Sabitzer.
The Austrian made a deadline day switch from Bayern Munich, signing on loan until the end of the season. Sabitzer was struggling for minutes at the Allianz Arena and United were looking for cover following the injury to Christian Eriksen, which will sideline him for three to four months.
The switch therefore suited all parties and was completed late in the day. Sabitzer has previously been a key cog for RB Leipzig - masterminding victories over the Red Devils. Ferdinand is adamant that the club got the best player possible given the time scale they were working on.
