Man Utd facing Marcel Sabitzer transfer heartache as Thomas Tuchel could reject permanent move from Bayern Munich

MANCHESTER UNITED could miss out on the permanent signing of Marcel Sabitzer in a blow to their transfer plans.

The on-loan midfielder could be kept at Bayern Munich with new manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly set to make the decision on his future.

According to , the Austrian is keen on continuing his career with Erik ten Hag as his manager.

However, his deal with the Red Devils does not include an option to buy and therefore it will be up to Bayern and Tuchel to decide if he will be sold.

Under former manager Julian Nagelsmann, it had seemed that Sabitzer’s career at Bayern was over, but that could now change.

The report suggests that the final decision will be made “around May/June” time.

Since joining Manchester United he has become a regular member of the side, appearing in nine games in all competitions, scoring one goal.

Sabitzer has left the door open to a permanent move to Old Trafford already since his arrival in January.

When asked about his future, Sabitzer said: “I had to make a quick decision to join in January.

“I was focused on this, it was clear it is just a loan until the summer.
