Martin Dubravka says he has “wonderful memories” of his time at Newcastle after joining Manchester United on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day.
The 33-year-old initially arrived Newcastle on loan from Sparta Prague in January 2018 before signing on a permanent basis once his loan deal expired. He played every Premier League game for Newcastle in back-to-back seasons in 2018/19 and 2019/20 respectively, before a heel injury ended a run of 88 consecutive league appearances for the Magpies.
Karl Darlow initially kept him out of the side when Dubravka returned from a three-month injury layoff but the Slovakian international regained his place for the final 13 games. A foot injury sustained during pre-season once again deprived him of featuring in the opening weeks of last season.
