David de Gea has already highlighted the importance of having competition for places in the goalkeeping department amid Martin Dubravka's arrival at Manchester United.
The Newcastle United shot-stopper, 33, joined the Reds on a season-long loan deal ahead of the transfer window slamming shut at 11pm on Thursday evening. United have wanted to add to their goalkeeping department throughout the summer and managed to complete the signing of Dubravka before the bell.
The Slovakian international, who joined Newcastle in 2018, was left out of the Magpies squad on Sunday for their 1-1 draw with Wolves as the deal had made progress. He is expected to replace Tom Heaton as United's second choice goalkeeper and United have an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.
