Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United and Bayern Munich player Marcel Sabizter have completed a loan deal until the end of the season.
With four more hours to go until the transfer window shuts in England, the Austrian international is currently on a plane from Munich to Manchester, to complete the deal.
There is no option to buy in his deal with United, however, he is the perfect replacement for the injured Christian Eriksen who is out until April with an ankle injury.

Personal terms between the two European giant clubs were agreed upon an hour ago, as United manager Erik Ten Hag spoke to Sabitzer early today about why he would want him to join United until the end of the season.
That seemed to sway the 28-year-old in the way of Manchester United amid interest from Chelsea today on deadline day as well.
He has been pictured leaving Bavaria about an hour ago, being filmed at Munich airport where his flight to Manchester is expected to be around two hours.

This means that the Red Devils should sign the former RB Leipzig player in time before the transfer window shuts at 11 o’clock.
