Marcel Sabitzer became Manchester United’s third and final loan signing of the January transfer window on Tuesday as he joined from Bayern Munich for the rest of the season.
The midfielder has been acquired as an emergency recruit amid Christian Eriksen being ruled out until April. Sabitzer had been tracked by the Reds for a number of years before a deal was completed inside the final 12 hours of the window upon the news about Eriksen.
The versatile talent has only started seven Bundesliga games for Bayern this season, and 15 overall since his arrival from RB Leipzig in 2021. But he is expected to fill in for Eriksen within Erik ten Hag’s midfield three alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes when he is available to play.
