Bruno Fernandes sends four-word message to Martin Dubravka after returning to Newcastle United
Newcastle United have decided to recall goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from his loan spell at Manchester United.
The 33-year-old made just two Carabao Cup appearances while at Old Trafford, and didn’t even feature in the Europa League.
‘We would like to thank Martin for his contribution during his time with our club, and wish him all the best for the future’, .
When the deal was completed at the end of the summer, few people would have thought the two sides would be competing against each other at the top of the table.
In fact, Dubravka is returning to a team above the Red Devils in the table right now.
Although he’s very unlikely to replace Nick Pope in between the sticks, Eddie Howe will be glad he’s not strengthened one of his rivals’ squads.
Erik ten Hag won’t be too worried about losing Dubravka, with Tom Heaton a very competent deputy to David De Gea.
It also opens up a loan spot for Man United if they wish to conduct any temporary business in the upcoming window.
Dubravka recalled by Newcastle United
, and was very complimentary about his time at Old Trafford.
“Hi guys, I have been recalled from loan at Manchester United and will return to Newcastle,” .
“Although short, it has been an enjoyable experience in Manchester and I wish to sincerely thank all the coaches, staff, players and fans of MUFC for their warmth and support during my loan spell.
“Regarding Newcastle, I have been delighted to see the club make such an impressive start to the season!”
Dubravka received plenty of praise from his Man United teammates, including Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese said, ‘You deserve the best’, although he may secretly be hoping to have bragging rights over Dubravka when the season ends.
The Slovakian didn’t have a brilliant time in goal for United against Burnley, although this wouldn’t have played a part in his move back to Tyneside.
Dubravka being recalled by Newcastle almost certainly signals the end of Loris Karius’ time at the club.
the German won’t have his contract extended when it expires this month.
