Manchester United's main Eriksen injury pushes Ten Hag to sign Sabitzer on loan from Bayern


Following Manchester United 's 3-1 win over Reading in the FA Cup at the end of last month, Manchester United's 30-year-old midfielder Christian Eriksen, a key player in the squad, was seriously injured. Eriksson is expected to return from injury in early May at the latest. For this reason, Ten Hag borrowed the 28-year-old midfielder Marcel Sabitzer from the Bundesliga Bayern Munich on loan before the winter transfer window closed as a step in this season's lineup.


Sabitzer, who was the captain of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, joined Bayern in August 2021 with a transfer fee of 16 million euros and signed a 4-year contract to help the team win the Bundesliga championship. So far this season, Sabitzer has represented Bayern in 11 of 24 games as a starter, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist.


It is reported that Sabitzer 's worth in the transfer market has reached 20 million euros.


Although many Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, have made large-scale purchases of top players in the winter transfer window, and Manchester United coach Ten Hag also revealed in the winter transfer window that he hopes to introduce more outstanding players, but considering financial issues, Ten Hag finally decided Sabitzer was introduced on loan until the end of June this year.

"At the peak of my career, I believe I can show my strength with a new identity"


After the loan agreement between the two sides was completed, Sabitzer was happy with the opportunity Manchester United gave him in the interview, and believed that he was a competitive player to help the team achieve their goals this season.
