The Slovakia international has been a consistent performer for Newcastle United since joining from Sparta Prague in 2018. So far, he has played 127 Premier League games, registering 37 clean sheets.
Dubravka was named the 2018 Player of the Year by the North East Football Writers’ Association and also won the 2019-20’s Newcastle United Player of the Season.
However, the Tyneside club signed Nick Pope from Burnley earlier this window. The England international is expected to be the Toons’ first-choice goalkeeper this season, raising question marks over Dubravka’s future at St. James’ Park.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Martin Dubravka has reached Manchester to complete his medicals. The Red Devils will sign the Slovakia international on a season-long loan with an option to sign him permanently next season.
Erik ten Hag is looking to add a new goalkeeper to his squad to compete with David de Gea as the club’s no.1. Yann Sommer, Odysseas Vlachodimos and Kevin Trapp were also linked with a move to Manchester United recently. However, Dubravka’s arrival at Old Trafford seems imminent now.
The Red Devils have spent an excellent transfer window this term. They have spent £214.22 on bringing reinforcements, the highest among the English clubs.

What will Martin Dubravka bring to Old Trafford?
Valued at £3.60 million by TransferMarkt, Dubravka is an experienced goalkeeper and has played 350 games in his career so far. His biggest strengths are his shot stopping, reflexes, and capability to dominate the 18-yard box.
The 33-year registered 73 saves, 17 high claims, and nine sweeper clearances in the league last term.
What’s next?
Manchester United are currently eighth in the Premier League table, with six points from four games. The Red Devils will next play Leicester City and Arenal respectively for their upcoming league games. Dubravka is unlikely to take part in any of these games.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United is seventh in the league table with six points from four league games. They will next lock horns against Liverpool in their upcoming Premier League table.
