On-loan midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has stated that he is open to staying at Manchester United on a permanent basis, but the decision isn’t his to make alone.
The midfielder joined United on loan from Bayern Munich in January, replacing the injured Christian Eriksen. Sabitzer has been a key player for the Red Devils, appearing in 13 matches since his arrival, including the EFL Cup final win over Newcastle United.
He scored his first goal for the club during the FA Cup quarter-final victory against Fulham and added two more in Thursday’s 2-2 Europa League draw with Sevilla. Although his loan agreement does not include a purchase option, the Austrian international is interested in extending his tenure at United.

“This is initially a project until the summer, then we’ll see. Until then, I want to give everything here. It’s a loan deal with no options. The situation will be assessed in the summer.
“But I can say for myself, I have found my place here. I know the Premier League now and I can say there is nothing better, more intense or tougher.
“Every game is a fight, everything goes faster. This is the best league in the world. Once you have played here, you know it’s incomparable.
“Of course my thoughts on United – especially looking at how things are going and the confidence I get from Erik ten Hag – are very positive. But I don’t have to decide it alone.“
