It’s official, Manchester United announced that both Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst will return to their respective clubs, as the English club will not buy either of the two players. Let’s remember that both players were on loan, but without an option to buy once the contract with the Red Devils expired

This news generates different feelings among United fans, since a large part of them wanted the Austrian Marcel Sabitzer to be a permanent player for the club led by Erik Ten Hag. Due to the great performance every time he went out on the field to defend the colors of the English club. With a total of 18 games played with the English club, Sabitzer knew how to take the place of Casemiro and Fred when necessary. But in the statistics, it seems that he did not contribute much to the club, with only 3 goals and 1 assist in his entire time at the club. But the Austrian earned the confidence of the Dutch coach to occupy the midfield.

On the other hand, there is the case of the Dutch Weghorst, where his loan generated some controversy, since people felt it was necessary to bring in a center forward like Weghorst, having other replacement options, in addition to the possibility of trying new youngsters to future plans. Two scores and three assists are the numbers that Wout leaves in the Red Devils team. What is impressive and the main factor that generates controversy is that he achieved these numbers by playing a total of 31 games. Numbers that no center forward should have, especially because of the goals.

But there is a reality, Ten Hag must decide what to do with the squad, since United urgently needs new signings to cover possible casualties and be able to compete in the Champions League next season.

Next. United interested in Marco Verrati. dark

If you were Erik Ten Hag, would you try to buy one of them as a permanent deal, and if your answer is yes, who would you choose?
