Ten Hag revealed the reason why MU recruited Marcel Sabitzer
Explaining the deal, Ten Hag told reporters: "We are very happy with that transfer, because we needed it after Van de Beek's injury and now Eriksen is also absent for a while. long time. Scott McTominay also had to take a short break from the game. That leaves us short in midfield. Bringing in a quality player on the last day of the transfer window is difficult, and we have this opportunity.
I've known Sabitzer for a long time since I was in Salzburg, especially when he was shining in Leipzig. He's been impressive, so I expect him to do the same here. I think he has a good attitude, at the right age, and I'm sure this opportunity will give him a big boost and he'll shine brightly for us."
Sabitzer has joined Bayern since the summer of 2021 and made 51 appearances for the reigning Bundesliga champions. The 28-year-old also has 68 caps for the Austrian national team.
Sabitzer did not have time to attend the match between MU and Nottingham Forest recently. But he can play when the "Red Devils" face Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.
