Manchester United have completed the loan signing of Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich.

The 28-year-old Austrian midfielder joins Erik ten Hag’s squad until the end of the season following Christian Eriksen’s long-term injury and a short-term problem for Scott McTominay.

Sabitzer has made 54 appearances for Bayern, who he joined in August 2021.

“Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions,” Sabitzer said.

“From the moment I heard about this opportunity I knew it was right for me. I am a competitive player; I want to win and help the club achieve its aims this season,” he added.

“I feel that I am at my peak as a player, and that I can contribute a lot of experience and energy to the squad.

“I’m excited to start with my new team-mates and manager and to show my qualities to Manchester United fans.”
