Manchester United have secured the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer on loan for the remainder of the season.
With Christian Eriksen ruled out through injury, Manchester United knew a new midfield signing would be necessary if they were to continue to compete at the top of the Premier League.
Their improvement in form this season under Erik ten Hag has been due in part to their revamped midfield that includes Eriksen and Casemiro, so they wasted no time bringing in reinforcements before the window closed.
Manchester United have now officially announced that Sabitzer has signed on loan for the remainder of the season from Bundesliga Bayern Munich.
Welcome to United, Marcel Sabitzer ?#MUFC

Sabitzer has a wealth of experience playing at the highest level during his time at RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich. The Austrian midfielder will offer technical ability in midfield and United fans are hoping he can replicate the work Eriksen has done so far this season.
Sabitzer is Manchester United’s second signing in the January transfer window after they brought in Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley earlier in the month.
