MARCEL SABITZER has been spotted at Munich airport ahead of a loan transfer to Manchester United.
The club signed off terms with Bayern Munich this afternoon and the player is now flying to Manchester to complete his move.
Sabitzer has been on the Red Devils radar for some time as what they describe as a ‘high quality’ midfielder.
But the move for him has been accelerated by the injury to Christian Eriksen which will sideline the Dane until at least the end of April.
Sabitzer is reportedly keen to work with Ten Hag and will travel to Manchester while awaiting an agreement between United and Bayern.
It is believed the midfielder will join United on loan for the rest of the season.

Sabitzer, 28, has struggled to establish himself at the Bundesliga champions since signing from RB Leipzig in 2021.
He has made just seven league starts this season, the last of which came against Borussia Dortmund in October.
But Eriksen is not expected back until late April at the earliest so Sabitzer could come straight into the team.
Erik ten Hag is said to be a fan of the Austrian and United considered signing him last summer.

Chelsea are also believed to be interested and have enquired about the star.
The Blues have spent heavily throughout the window and look far from done on deadline day.
They are still trying to push through a move for Enzo Fernandez and need to bolster their midfield with the shock exit of Jorginho to Arsenal looming.
