"Whole situation will be evaluated" - Manchester United's Marcel Sabitzer issues update on future at Red Devils

Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has said that he has not yet discussed his future with the Red Devils hierarchy, adding that he will evaluate everything in the summer.

United signed Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich on deadline day in January. Manager Erik ten Hag has since used him in 12 games across competitions, getting a series of convincing displays in return. Having emerged as a competent backup for Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, the 29-year-old has pitched in with a goal and an assist.

According to Football Insider, the Dutch tactician likes Sabitzer’s professionalism, mentality and fitness level and wants United to make his stay permanent. Sabitzer, though, has claimed that the club have not yet talked about making his stay permanent, adding that he will evaluate his situation at the end of the season.

Speaking to BILD, Sabitzer said (via Fabrizio Romano):

“Man United made it clear that my loan project was until the summer, then we'll see. Until then, I want to give everything here — then in the summer, the whole situation will be evaluated.”

Sabitzer’s contract doesn't have a purchase clause. As per Football Insider, Bayern Munich would be happy to let the player leave for £25–30 million this summer.

Manchester United could have to spend £80 million to land Moises Caicedo

Despite signing a new four-year deal with Brighton & Hove Albion in March, Moises Caicedo could leave the Amex this summer, Football Insider has reported (via The Peoples Person). It has been reported that the Seagulls are willing to let the defensive midfielder leave for £80 million this summer.

Manchester United are eager to land the 21-year-old as a backup for defensive midfielder Casemiro this summer. The former Real Madrid star is the only dependable defensive midfielder in the team, so Manchester United are determined to change that.

Premier League leaders Arsenal wanted to sign Caicedo in January, but Brighton did not accept their £70 million offer. The Gunners are still reportedly interested in him, while Liverpool and Chelsea also fancy the midfielder.
