MANCHESTER UNITED swooped on deadline day to sign Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich until the end of the season.
And fans have been left in stitches after hearing a Sky Sports reporter's description of the midfielder.
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.

While others joked that the phrase could be turned into a chant for the midfielder.
