With Manchester United's injury list still long at the end of the season, the club released an official statement on Tuesday (16th) confirming that Austrian midfielder Schaubisa will not be available for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. With his loan contract set to expire in the summer, United have yet to clarify whether they will make an official bid for Bayern Munich, and Schabisa's United career appears to have come to an end.
Manchester United revealed in a statement that Shabisa has unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury which has prevented him from returning to action this season. Since joining from Bayern Munich in January, he has been a key part of the team's second half of the season, contributing three goals in 18 appearances, including the goal that won the EFL Cup. He also played well in the final and the team is very disappointed to see Sapisa leave. We are working hard to finish the season strongly and would like to express our sincere thanks to Shabisa for his contribution.
Many fans believe that this statement from United is more like a farewell letter. The British media also pointed out that United has not yet decided whether to try to buy out Schaubisa's contract or not, and has not even entered into relevant negotiations with Bayern Munich. Rumor has it that United are planning to bring in another midfielder this summer, with names such as Frankie Dijon, Zudi Binningham, and Dylan Rice all rumored to be in the mix. It seems that Shabisa may not be the ideal candidate in Tannhäuser's mind.
