Marcel Sabitzer, the 29-year-old Austrian midfielder, is not sure what the future holds for him after his current loan deal with Manchester United runs out at the end of the season. Sabitzer joined the club on a short-term deal from Bayern Munich in January to cover for the injured Christian Eriksen, who has since returned to fitness.
Despite his uncertain future, Sabitzer is “very proud” of his time at Manchester United so far. He has made nine Premier League appearances, seven of which have been in the starting XI, and has also played in the Europa League, FA Cup, and the club’s successful Carabao Cup campaign.
Sabitzer has quickly adapted to life in the Premier League and has enjoyed his stay at Manchester United. He acknowledges the club’s massive following and the passion of the fans, stating that “people are crazy about United.”
While it is not yet clear whether Manchester United will push to keep him or if Bayern Munich are keen to get him back, Sabitzer is happy to focus on his current responsibilities. He has not spoken to new Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel yet, as everyone is currently focused on their tasks, but they will discuss his future at the right moment.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hinted that he would like to keep hold of Sabitzer, praising his impact since arriving in January. He describes Sabitzer as an intelligent player who has adjusted well to Manchester United and the Premier League. He also adds that Sabitzer is a great person who suits the dressing room well, making him a valuable asset to the team.
As Sabitzer’s loan deal comes to an end, it remains to be seen whether he will continue playing at Manchester United or return to Bayern Munich. Whatever the future holds, Sabitzer can look back on his time at Manchester United with pride and satisfaction, knowing that he has made a significant contribution to the team’s success.
