MANCHESTER UNITED have brought speculation over the futures of Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst to an end.
Weghorst and Sabitzer signed for Man Utd on loan in January, but it would appear neither have done enough to earn a permanent move.

A club statement read: "In terms of incoming loans at United, Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst are due to return to Bayern Munich and Burnley, respectively.
"Both made telling contributions to our Carabao Cup success and clinching a top-three place in the Premier League, with Weghorst supplying the assist for Marcus Rashford's goal in the final win over Newcastle United at Wembley.
"Sabitzer scored twice in the home Europa League tie with Sevilla, after opening his account in the Emirates FA Cup comeback against Fulham, but missed the run-in due to a knee problem."
Some fans had tipped Sabitzer to stay after a 2023/24 Man Utd shirt with his name on the back was seen on sale on the club website.
The announcement of the two players' departures came direct from the club as they detailed the futures of a number of their players.
Weghorst, who was loaned in from Burnley, featured 31 times for the Red Devils, but managed just two goals.
Whilst Sabitzer had a smaller role after his switch from Bayern Munich, playing in 18 games.
Both players will leave Manchester as Carabao Cup champions following United’s success in the competition last season.
