Man Utd confirm Sabitzer and Weghorst permanent transfer decisions as fans blast ‘clear disrespect’

MANCHESTER UNITED have announced that both Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst are set to return to their parent clubs.

Weghorst and Sabitzer signed for Man Utd on loan in January, but it would appear neither have done enough to earn a permanent move.

Wout Weghorst will be returning to Burnley after his loan with Manchester United

Marcel Sabitzer will also be leaving the club

The announcement came direct from the club as they released a statement detailing the futures of a number of their players.

Weghorst, who was loaned in from Burnley, featured 31 times for the Red Devils, but managed just two goals.

Whilst Sabitzer had a smaller role after his switch from Bayern Munich, playing in 18 games.

Both players will leave Manchester as Carabao Cup champions following United’s success in the competition last season.

United and the Spaniard have been locked into negotiations around a new contract with De Gea’s current deal set to expire tomorrow.

The statement read: “Meanwhile, David De Gea’s contract is due to run out but discussions remain open with the long-serving keeper.”

The update didn’t go down well with fans as they took to Twitter to express their frustration with the situation.

One fan wrote: “It’s embarrassing that this hasn’t been sorted out btw.”

Whilst another slammed the club for being disrespectful, they wrote: “Just let him leave now… this is clear disrespect the way it has been handled.”

De Gea has been Man Utd’s No.1 since 2011 and has made 545 appearances for the club.
