Eddie Howe to hold talks with Newcastle United loanee Martin Dubravka about return from Manchester United

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is set to hold talks with Martin Dubravka about the prospect of returning early from his loan spell at Manchester United, according to Chronicle Live (h/t Manchester Evening News).

The Red Devils signed the Slovakia international on a temporary deal from the Magpies in the recent transfer window. However, he has not featured a lot for the Old Trafford side.

Thus, Howe is set to speak with the 33-year-old about the possibility of returning to Tyneside in January. It remains to be seen how their conversation unfolds.

David de Gea has been Erik ten Hag’s first choice in between the sticks. The Spaniard has been brilliant for the Red Devils since last season. He won the club’s Players’ Player of the Year award at the end of the 2021/22 campaign.

The 32-year-old had a shaky start to life under the Dutch manager. However, he has managed to bounce back in fine fashion. The shot-stopper has made some brilliant saves already this term.

Ten Hag seemingly wants the team to play out from the back. Unfortunately, De Gea leaves a lot to be desired with the ball at his feet. But the Spaniard has evidently adapted a bit and improved his ball-playing abilities.

Martin Dubravka was a regular at Newcastle United until the arrival of Nick Pope.

Dubravka signed for Newcastle in the winter window of 2018. He was the Magpies’ first choice in between the sticks until the arrival of Nick Pope in the recent transfer window. Subsequently, he moved to Manchester.

However, while some Man United fans may have expected the Slovak to feature more, he has only made one appearance for the Red Devils, in the 4-2 win over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.

Even though the 33-year-old has not played in the Premier League or Europa League, more Carabao and FA Cup fixtures are set to be played after the World Cup break. The loanee will hope to get more game time then.
