MANCHESTER UNITED newboy Marcel Sabitzer watched his new team from the Old Trafford stands against Nottingham Forest.
The midfielder completed a deadline day loan move from Bayern Munich.
He jetted into Manchester last night to finalise the switch and was at The Theatre of Dreams to watch his new team-mates in action as they beat Forest 2-0.
The Austrian was dressed up warmly as he braved the cold in a woolly hat and fur-lined coat.
Sabitzer was brought in as an emergency after Christian Eriksen suffered a long-term injury at the weekend.
The Dane could be out of action until May so United decided to sign Sabitzer after tracking the 28-year-old since the summer.

Erik ten Hag is said to be a big fan of the former RB Leipzig star.
In fact, the Red Devils turned down the chance to sign four other players before moving for Sabitzer.
However Ten Hag was unable to pick him against Forest as the midfielder is still awaiting his visa.
Ten Hag will hope the loanee is available for Saturday’s clash against Crystal Palace and will want to get him up to speed quickly.

Sabitzer’s arrival gives Ten Hag a few tactical options with the player able to play as a deep-lying midfielder or as a no10.
He is equally capable out wide and will hope to chip in with goals and assists as United looked to end their trophy drought.
