Martin Dubravka has fallen down the pecking order at Newcastle after the arrival of Nick Pope; Man Utd have been in the market for goalkeeper to provide competition for David de Gea after Dean Henderson joined Nottm Forest on loan.

The 33-year-old joins United after four years at Newcastle, who he joined from Sparta Prague in 2018.

United’s option over his permanent stay, which will command a further fee of £6m, will become obligatory depending on the number of appearances he makes for the club.

Newcastle also have a recall option they can use in January, if they require.

The Slovakia international told Newcastle earlier this week he wanted to leave the club and join United.

Dubravka had been pushed down the pecking order at St James’ Park following the arrival of Nick Pope.

United were keen to sign a goalkeeper to provide competition for David de Gea and Tom Heaton after Dean Henderson joined Nottingham Forest on loan.

Erik ten Hag is also eager to put pressure on De Gea, who made a costly error in Man Utd’s 4-0 defeat at Brentford.
