United to activate Sabitzer's option to buy in summer

Manchester United will sign Marcel Sabitzer permanently. The Austrian midfielder will play at Old Trafford on loan until June and will be offered a long-term contract by the Red Devils, according to 'ESPN'.

The transfer of the Bayern footballer was negotiated on the last day of the January transfer window. The English side wanted to sign him to replace Christian Eriksen, who is injured. The Danish player could be out of action until the end of April.

Marcel Sabitzer played his third Premier League match against Leeds United at Ellan Road. He made his debut eight days ago against Crystal Palace.

Ten Hag could count on Sabitzer for the Europa League meeting against Barcelona. The match will be played at the Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain.
