A Sky reporter had fans in stitches with their description of Sabitzer
Sabitzer, 28, plays in the middle of the park, but has operated out wide on the right before.
And, according to a Sky reporter in Germany, the Austrian international “shoots like a horse” in front of goal.
While describing Sabitzer on Sky Sports News, the reporter said: “He can play everywhere in midfield and he shoots like a horse.”
The bizarre description of the United loanee left fans on social media in stitches.
One said: “Just that description is worth every penny.”
Another added: “This was the best part of #DeadlineDay for me yesterday.”
While others joked that the phrase could be turned into a chant for the midfielder.
One wrote: “He can shoot like a horse, he can shoot like a horse, Marcel Sabitzer, he can shoot like a horse.”

And a second quipped: “Nobody: United at the Stretford End: he shoots like a horse, he shoots like a hoooorse, Marcel Sabitzer he shoots like a horse.”
Sabitzer is expected to be in the stands at Old Trafford tonight as United face Forest in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie.
The Red Devils are 3-0 up from the first leg last week, and are heavy favourites to book a Wembley meeting with Newcastle.
The Magpies reached a first final in 24 years with a 3-1 aggregate win over Southampton on Tuesday.
