The Football world is going crazy right now as the Winter transfer window deadline day is almost coming to an end. Manchester United brought Wout Weghorst on loan a few days ago from Besiktas. As the Club's Ownership is still in doubt, the club is not spending money in the transfer window. Bringing Sabitzer would be a huge boost for United because Eric ten Hag has been really reliable in terms of taking decisions. The fan base is really excited after the news.
Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has emerged as a loan target for Manchester United ahead of the January transfer window closing. Some day ago, Fabrizio Romano tweeted, " Manchester united will sign a creative player in the Winter Transfer window". Although United didn't sign but brought him on a loan deal as Fabrizio Romano made clear that there is no option to buy in the contract.
Marcel Sabitzer to Manchester United, here we go! Full agreement reached on loan deal, no buy option — confirmed 🚨🔴 #MUFC#DeadlineDay
Deal set to be signed with Bayern in the final hours as personal terms agreed too.
Christian Eriksen got injured in the last match and the fans got very worried. Manchester United improved after the arrival of Eric Ten Hag. They are going now head to head against their rivals to secure the top 4. Midfield options have been always a worrying sight for Man Utd. They have struggled a lot due to their midfield options.
So far this month, Ten Hag has made two signings, with Wout Weghorst and Jack Butland arriving on loan from Burnley and Crystal Palace respectively. United has contacted Bayern at the ending phase of the Transfer Window Deadline day. On the basis of a short-term loan, United will struggle to find an option better than Sabitzer. This deal will help United to cover up the midfield and will help Bruno to go forward just like Eriksen. Sabitzer is almost the same-profile player as Eriksen. He has been excellent for RB Leipzig but since joining Byern, he hasn't looked sharp. The playing time can also be the reason behind that as Julian Nagelsmann hasn't used him so much. It is going to be an exciting second-half season if the deal works in the right direction for United.
Every single trophy Cristiano Ronaldo has won in his career
Cristiano Ronaldo, till now, has won 36 major trophies in his career, among which two came for Portugal and the rest for his clubs. Today, in this article, we will discuss every single trophy Cristiano Ronaldo has won in his career.
Ronaldo, till now, has won 17 different trophies in his career, and among them, two are with his country, Portugal. Today, in this article, we will discuss every single trophy Cristiano Ronaldo has won in his career.
Ronaldo got the taste of winning a trophy with Portugal on only three occasions so far. In the historic and emotional 2016 European Championship, he was able to lift the trophy, despite being sidelined for the most amount of time due to a knee injury in the final.
Éder's lone goal helped Portugal lift the EURO 2016 and Ronaldo lift his first international trophy with Portugal.
Ronaldo's second international trophy came three years after that European success. In the UEFA Nations League 2019 final, Goncalo Guedes scored the lone goal for Portugal against the Netherlands to lift the inaugural Nations League title.
Ronaldo then became the oldest player to score in a Nations League final as Portugal won their second UEFA Nations League in 2025, becoming the first team to do so. They defeated Spain in the penalties to win the title.

Till now, 9 European clubs (Under UEFA) have managed to win a treble, which includes the premier national league competition, the main national cup competition, and the UEFA Champions League/UEFA Europa League.
In football, a team wins a treble when they win three major trophies in a single season. Winning the continental treble means winning the premier national league competition, the main national cup competition, and the main continental trophy, for UEFA, which is the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.
Though winning the Europa League is also considered a treble, it is not accepted wholeheartedly by the pundits and fans as winning the UEFA Champions League.
Till now, 9 European clubs have been able to win the continental treble. Before we discuss all the European treble winners in men's football history, we must know about the types of Trebles we have in football.
Barcelona is the only club to win multiple trebles with both their men's and women's team, completing the feat in 2024.
Continental treble
This is considered the actual treble in football where a team go on to win the national league, national cup competition and the main continental trophy. Celtic Football Club in 1966-67 became the first team in football history to win a Continental treble. Till now, 22 men's teams have won the Continental Treble, with 30 being the total number of times. In Europe, only 8 football teams have been able to accomplish the feat.
Domestic treble
Generally, for most of the footballing nations, winning a domestic treble is not possible since they do not allow first-division teams to win any secondary cup or league. A domestic treble includes winning three national competitions, including the national league title, the national cup competition, and one secondary competition. Countries which were under British or French possessions once allowed domestic trebles to happen. Celtic with 8 domestic trebles, and Rangers, with 7, are the most successful teams when it comes to winning domestic trebles.
European treble winners in men's football history
