Marcel Sabitzer has officially named as Manchester United player after he was given his squad number. The midfielder will wear No.15 jersey for the club in his 6-months loan spell. Sabitzer is one of the players United were looking when Eriksen got injured and it likely that he will get much game time under Erik ten Hag.
Sabitzer is a 28-year old central midfielder and can also play as central attacking midfielder. He seems to be the perfect replacement of the injured Christian Eriksen. Eriksen was the one who played more matches than any other Manchester United player since he has joined the club, so Erik ten Hag wants such kind of a player and thus it seems likely that Sabitzer will start the game against Crystal Palace which is their next fixture in the English Premier League.
Manchester United will be against Crystal Palace on Saturday, 4th February at Old Trafford stadium. Marcel Sabitzer is likely to make his debut in the game, however it is still not confirmed by the manager (Erik ten Hag) yet.
