Marcel Sabitzer has revealed he needed very little time to think about accepting the opportunity to sign for Manchester United.
The Premier League club completed a loan deal for the Bayern Munich midfielder on deadline day after losing Christian Eriksen to an ankle injury.
Sabitzer told the club website: “Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions.
“From the moment I heard about this opportunity I knew it was right for me. I am a competitive player; I want to win and help the club achieve its aims this season.
“I feel that I am at my peak as a player, and that I can contribute a lot of experience and energy to the squad. I am excited to start with my new team-mates and manager and to show my qualities to Manchester United fans.”
Austria international Sabitzer, 28, joins on a deal running until the end of the season.
Manchester United football director John Murtough said: “Marcel is a player that we have watched for a long time.
“The opportunity arose quickly, and we knew that he was someone with the ability and character to make an impact. He adds further quality to our squad and experience to the dressing room, and all of us are pleased to be welcoming him to Manchester United.”
