Why Marcel Sabitzer is a brilliant addition to Manchester United

Manchester
United
and
Chelsea
both
reportedly
made
approaches
to
sign
the
28-year-old
but
the
Red
Devils
have
won
the
race
to
sign
him.
Erik
ten
Hag’s
side
suffered
a
hammer
blow
with
star
midfielder
Christian
Eriksen
being
ruled
out
with
an
ankle
injury
until
May.

With
the
Danish
playmaker
ruled
out
for
almost
the
remainder
of
the
season
and
Donny
van
de
Beek
also
sidelined,
Erik
ten
Hag’s
side
were
short
of
options
in
the
middle
of
the
park.
Under
such
circumstances,
Sabitzer
looks
like
an
excellent
short-term
addition
to
the
Red
Devils.

Since
his
€16
million
move
to
Bayern
Munich
from
RB
Leipzig,
Sabitzer
hasn’t
really
been
able
to
establish
himself
as
a
first-team
regular
at
the
Allianz
Arena.

Despite
being
reunited
with
Julian
Nagelsmann
at
the
Bavarian
club,
whom
he
worked
with
at
RB
Leipzig,
Sabitzer
has
not
been
able
to
establish
himself
as
a
key
player
at
the
Allianz
Arena.
He
has
started
just
seven
Bundesliga
games
this
season
while
coming
on
as
a
substitute
on
eight
occasions.

On
a
loan
deal,
Sabitzer
could
prove
to
be
an
excellent
addition
to
Manchester
United.
The
Austrian’s
biggest
quality
is
his
incredible
versatility.
He
is
capable
of
playing
across
the
midfield
and
even
across
the
front
three.
Adding
such
a
player
to
their
ranks
can
only
be
beneficial
for
Erik
ten
Hag.

Also,
Sabitzer’s
style
of
play
makes
him
a
perfect
fit
under
the
Manchester
United
manager.
He
is
extremely
hard-working
and
is
a
tireless
runner
and
looks
tailor-made
for
ten
Hag’s
high-intensity
system.
