Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has admitted that he likes Old Trafford, the atmosphere and that he is enjoying his time so far at Manchester United.
Signed on deadline day on an emergency deal following Christian Eriksen’s injury, Sabitzer has barely had time to settle in England.
The Bayern Munich star got into the action after Casemiro’s red card against Crystal Palace.
Sabitzer has endured three tough games in the Premier League: against Palace and both against Leeds.
In all three games, the 28-year-old has given a good account of himself and shown positive signs of what he can do.
Sabitzer spoke about his future beyond his loan spell which expires at the end of the season. He refused to rule out staying at United.
“He’s a loan right now, that’s all I can say,” Sabitzer said. ‘I like it here. I feel very good here. I like the team, I like the club and the atmosphere at Old Trafford. We’ll see what happens in the summer.”
“It’s been a busy few days. I had to go in fast but I enjoy it. I like it so far. The team received me very well. It was a bit of a cold start, but I had to intervene quickly due to Casemiro’s suspension. I’m ready for that and happy playing.”
“You can feel it. From the first moment I felt very good in the team, good spirit, good goals, we are a good team. It’s fun. The manager talks to me a lot, what he expects from me. I try to fulfill that. I feel good with him and his tactics and I like it so far.”
Reliable German reporter Florian Plettenberg indicates that Bayern Munich bosses are extremely open to selling Sabitzer to the Red Devils.
Konrad Laimer will be Sabitzer’s replacement if he leaves Bavaria.
According to Plettenberg, the United board is happy and fully confident with Sabitzer’s performances so far.
#Sabitzer News: The #MUFC Board of Directors is totally confident with their performances in recent days. They like his physical strength. Your future is still open. They have told me again that it is a direct loan. But Bayern is very open to selling it. Laimer could fill in for him. @SkySportDE ???????? pic.twitter.com/sn3IKmd0KU
