Sabitzer spent the second half of 2022-23 on loan from Bayern Munich, but did not make his move permanent and instead went to Borussia Dortmund.

As a consequence he gave an assessment on the ongoing issues at Old Trafford by stating that the Red Devils can get themselves out of the slump.

“I feel very positive about my time there and still talk to a couple of people,” he said. “You ask yourself, ‘what’s going on?’ There’s a lot of noise, results are not good, they’ve had defeats at home, which almost felt unthinkable last season.”

Sabitzer did back Ten Hag and said that firing him will not be the right decision.
