Manchester United keeper Matej Kovar set to stay at Old Trafford despite Martin Dubravka's imminent arrival and loan interest from Sunderland and Salford City

Manchester United goalkeeper Matej Kovar looks likely to stay rather than go out on loan today.

The Czech Republic U21 international has had interest from Sunderland and Salford City in recent weeks and was expected to depart following Martin Dubravka's arrival from Newcastle United.

However, the 22-year-old is set to stay for the first part of the season and increase competition among Erik ten Hag's keepers along with Nathan Bishop.
