Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe admitted to feeling 'sad' about Martin Dubravka's imminent transfer to Manchester United, with the goalkeeper set to complete a loan move to Old Trafford.
The 33-year-old shot-stopper has not been involved in each of Newcastle’s last two matchday squads and is edging closer to signing for United. According to reports, an option to buy clause of around £5million will be included in Dubravka's move.
The Slovak has not featured in a competitive match since coming up against Burnley in the final game of the 2021-22 campaign in May. Dubravka will arrive as United's second choice goalkeeper and offer much-needed competition for David de Gea.
