Erik ten Hag labels Marcel Sabitzer as a 'quality player' with a 'great attitude' after Austrian completed deadline day move to Man United... as Red Devils boss insists he 'needed' the Bayern Munich loanee after string of injuries

Erik ten Hag has heaped praise on new signing Marcel Sabitzer and insisted he 'needed' the Austrian midfielder after Manchester United's injury crisis.

The Red Devils made a deadline day swoop for the Bayern Munich midfielder and managed to secure a loan move that will see the 28-year-old remain at United for the rest of the season.

United have suffered a string of injures recently - with the latest being Christian Eriksen's ankle issue - and Ten Hag has insisted he's 'really happy' to have brought in Sabitzer to help tackle those issues.
