Erik ten Hag will prioritize signing a forward this summer, but the Dutchman also needs to make changes in the midfield because several players may leave the team.
Two years remain on Scott McTominay’s contract, but due to a lack of playing time, Newcastle United is reportedly preparing a new transfer after their unsuccessful attempt in the January window.
Fred’s contract ends at the end of the following campaign, and as things stand, Marcel Sabitzer, a midfielder on loan from Bayern Munich, is anticipated to return there when his half-season deal expires in two months.
Despite a strong start to life at Old Trafford, Sabitzer is reportedly pushing to remain with the team. Football Insider claims that the 29-year-old has adapted well to life in Manchester.
According to the rumor, Sabitzer’s manager Ten Hag is a “huge fan” and thinks the former RB Leipzig star would be a good addition to the team and locker room.
All parties involved in any potential transaction are eager to get it done fast, and the player has instructed his representatives to consent to a permanent transfer, it is also underlined.
Bayern Munich, who are presently seeking £25-30m, are reportedly willing to let Sabitzer leave the team permanently if their asking price is satisfied.
SN’s conclusion
Since joining the team, Sabitzer has performed admirably and has given Ten Hag the much-needed protection at a time when United’s midfielders were leaving like flies.
This season, Casemiro has missed a total of eight games due to suspension, and Eriksen has just recently made a full recovery from a catastrophic ankle injury that sidelined him for about three months.
