Manchester United signed Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich during the January transfer window.
Marcel Sabitzer has done reasonably well so far, and there have been rumours that Manchester United could look to sign in permanently at the end of the season. However, a report from The Sun claims that the Red Devils have now been dealt a blow in their pursuit of the Austrian, who could stay at the German club next season.
Bayern Munich recently switched managers. And the newly-appointed Thomas Tuchel is looking to assess the 29-year-old before deciding on his future during the summer transfer window.
It will be interesting to see if Sabitzer decides to push for a permanent move to the Premier League. The player’s agent has previously revealed that Premier League football suits his client and the 29-year-old is happy to play for Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag needs more depth and quality in his midfield. And the 29-year-old could prove to be a quality permanent signing if they manage to secure his services for a reasonable price.
The 29-year-old struggled for regular game time during his time at Bayern Munich, and he will hope to leave them permanently in the summer. The Austrian international had fallen down the pecking order under Julian Nagelsmann.
However, things have changed at the Bavarian club and Tuchel might be open to giving him the necessary opportunities in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see if Sabitzer decides to return to the Bundesliga in the summer.
Manchester United have been linked with a number of midfielders in recent months. And it remains to be seen whether they can bring in the necessary reinforcements. They will be hoping to challenge for the league title next season and cannot hope to rely on players like Scott McTominay.

The Red Devils have certainly improved a lot under their new manager. But they must look to plug the weaknesses in their squad over the next few months now. Bringing in a reliable partner for Casemiro should be a top priority for them.
