Marcel Sabitzer hints at permanent Man Utd transfer stay at end of season as Bayern Munich make their demands

MANCHESTER UNITED could sign Marcel Sabitzer on a permanent basis in the summer, according to his agent.

The midfielder arrived in an emergency loan deal in January to replace the injured Christian Eriksen.

Marcel Sabitzer could stay at Manchester United beyond his loanRex

He was thrown straight into the United team and appears to be enjoying life at Old Trafford.

And according to his agent there is a chance he could sign a permanent deal in the summer.

He told German outlet Sport1 that they “will see what happens” when the transfer window re-opens.

But with Bayern Munich believed to be open to a sale it is possible Sabitzer will remain at United.

He signed for the German champions in 2021 but has struggled to nail down a first-team place.

Bayern have reportedly set an asking price of £18million for the midfielder but would be willing to negotiate that fee.

Sabitzer also refused to rule out a permanent switch after revealing he liked the atmosphere at the club.

He said: “It’s a loan at the moment, that’s all I can say.

“I like it here. I’m feeling very good here. I like the team, I like the club, the atmosphere in Old Trafford.

“We will see what happens in the summer.”
