Martine Dubravka becomes the sixth and final signing for Manchester United. The Slovakian international joins the Red Devils on a long season loan with an option to buy.
Newcastle United and Manchester United reached an agreement earlier in the week. Personal terms were not an issue for Dubravka.
In his first interview, Dubravka stated:
“To be joining Manchester United is a special moment in my career and I can’t wait to get started, and help the group achieve its ambitions.
“I am joining an excellent group of goalkeepers with lots of experience in the Premier League, and I know that we will push and support each other to keep our standards at the highest levels. The chance to work with David De Gea, alongside Tom Heaton, is one that I am relishing.
“I’d like to sincerely thank everyone at Newcastle United, and especially the fans, for many great experiences over the past four and a half years. I enjoyed every minute of my time there and made amazing memories to look back on. My focus is now on helping Manchester United, and we’ll see what the future holds after I have given my all this season. I am excited to be here!”
Manchester United Director, John Murtough stated:
“Martin has proven himself to be a top Premier League goalkeeper and his experience and personality will be a great addition to our strong goalkeeping group, alongside David, Tom, and our younger keepers. Together, they will create a high-performance environment, with each of them ready to step up and play when called upon”.
The 33-year-old goalkeeper will be a second option and he is set to challenge David de Gea during the campaign.
