Martin Dubravka breaks silence on Newcastle United and Manchester United bombshell

Martin Dubravka has vowed to give his all for Newcastle United after being recalled from his loan spell at Manchester United.

The Magpies inserted a January recall clause as part of the agreement to send the Slovakian to Old Trafford in the summer.

And having made just two Carabao Cup appearances, the decision has been taken to bring the 33-year-old back to Tyneside.

The news has brought a mixed reaction from the Magpies fanbase, who were left disappointed by Dubravka’s decision to leave the club following Nick Pope’s arrival.

But in a social media post, the former Sparta Prague goalkeeper has pledged his commitment to Newcastle.

“Hi guys, I have been recalled from loan at Manchester United and will return to Newcastle,” Dubravka posted on Instagram.

“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!

“Newcastle is my home and I will be back to support the squad and the goalkeeping group for the second half of the season. As always I will give my all to the team and will contribute in any way that I can to hopefully a memorable season.

“Wishing you all a very happy new year!”

In announcing Dubravka’s return this morning, a club statement stated “he will now provide further competition for Nick Pope.”

Dubravka, under contract at St James’ Park until 2025, has made 130 appearances for Newcastle since joining in January 2018
