Newcastle United considered a deadline day move for Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports Newcastle decided against a deadline day move for Sabitzer.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: "We also have some rumours on Newcastle because they were looking for that kind of player and they considered that kind of opportunity.

“But they decided also not to proceed because Sabitzer said was super keen on joining Manchester United, in love with Erik ten Hag's ideas of football.

"And so this is why for Sabitzer the hijack was refused."
