Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes is eager to meet new teammate Marcel Sabitzer.

The Austrian midfielder has joined on a loan deal until the end of the season from Bayern Munich.

Sabitzer is a replacement for the injured Christian Eriksen, who is out until April.

"Yeah, my memories of that game are not good as they put us out of the Champions League," Fernandes told the Manchester Evening News after his side progressed to the Carabao Cup final.

"But he's a good player, a really good midfielder.

"He can shoot from outside of the box, he can score great goals. He'll give us more options in the midfield while Christian is injured. He's another one who'll make it difficult for everyone in the team to have a place.

"Even for him, he knows he has to push himself to the highest level to be playing for us now and everyone that is starting today - for example me, Casemiro and Fred. We know it costs a lot to have a place in the team and we have another one fighting for that position so we have to give our best.

"We're really happy to have him, we think he can help us. Tomorrow I'll be with him, I'll talk a little bit with him and see. I think he's fully fit, he's been playing, so hopefully he'll help us a lot."
