Martin Dubravka: Manchester United close to signing Newcastle keeper

Manchester United are close to completing the signing of Newcastle United keeper Martin Dubravka.

Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag has been trying to get back-up for number one David de Gea following Dean Henderson's loan move to Nottingham Forest.

Attempts to sign Eintracht Frankfurt's Kevin Trapp failed when the German opted to stay in the Bundesliga.

Ten Hag has now turned his attentions to Slovakia keeper Dubravka, 33, who moved to Newcastle in 2018.

Although Dubravka was a regular in the Premier League last season, he has lost his place to new Magpies signing Nick Pope.
