But Red Devils fans do not appear to be keen on keeping Sabitzer permanently as they reacted to the news.
One said: “Good player but always injured, then useless. Bayern knows this and wants to sell.”
Another declared: “No thanks, he’s done a job but has hardly justified a permanent move.”
One noted: “Bayern bought him for £12m, barely played him and now want nearly double. Joke.”
Another added: “Good stop-gap while Eriksen was injured but can’t see the need for him.”
