Manchester United are set to open talks with Bayern Munich for Marcel Sabitzer.
The Austria international is on-loan at United to June and has quickly impressed.
The 29-year-old wants to stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of the season.
And now United are ready to open talks with Bayern about a fee for the midfielder.
Sabitzer said earlier this week: "Of course my thoughts are on Man United, especially with the trust I get from Erik ten Hag it's very positive.
"I found my place here. Now I know the Premier League and can say there's nothing better."
Sabitzer's deal runs to 2025 at Bayern.
