Manchester United announce Martin Dubravka transfer and why they have signed him from Newcastle

Manchester United have officially announced the signing of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from Newcastle.

Dubravka, 33, has joined United on a season-long loan, subject to registration, which includes the club having the option to make the transfer permanent. United have paid a £2million loan fee and they have an obligation to buy for £6m if the shot-stopper plays a fixed number of Premier League games. Dubravka spent four-and-a-half years with Newcastle and was their No.1 until this summer.

Newcastle signed Nick Pope from Burnley in June, which led Dubravka to consider his options elsewhere. Dubravka is first-choice goalkeeper for Slovakia's national side and he is expected to play in Europa League fixtures and domestic cup matches for United.
