Man Utd fans fear ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will scupper latest transfer move for midfielder
MAN UNITED fans are concerned that Thomas Tuchel will block a permanent move for Marcel Sabitzer.
The on-loan midfielder could stay at Bayern Munich, with new manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly set to make the decision on his future.
Since joining the Red Devils 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.
But fans are now fearing that a transfer could be scuppered by the former Chelsea manager.
One tweeted: “Damn! Tuchel is likely to spoil this deal for us.”
A second wrote: “The Tuchel hiring might change the situation a bit you know. I’d deffo take him any day of the week tho, esp for a small fee for such a great player.”
A third commented: “Tuchel will not let him leave the club or go cheaply if he doesn’t wants him.”
A fourth said: “He’s going back to Bayern with Tuchel in charge.”
While a fifth added: “I’m worried that he is a player that Tuchel could want to keep though.”

And a sixth declared: “Tuchel loves hardworking players. I sense he will offload Gravenberch and recall Sabitzer.”
Sabitzer’s deal with Man United 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.
