Fabrizio Romano has provided an exclusive update on Manchester United’s transfer plans in today’s Daily Briefing for CaughtOffside, explaining a bit more about Martin Dubravka’s loan release and what the Red Devils could do next in that position.
According to Romano, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was the one who decided to recall Dubravka from Man Utd due to concerns that the Slovakia international would not play at Old Trafford.
Dubravka had only made two appearances for Erik ten Hag’s side this season, but it could be that United are now looking for another signing to come on as substitute goalkeeper, although Romano says that is not a top priority.
MUFC arguably has much more pressing issues in other areas of their squad, and a new forward is likely to be seen as a bigger addition to the team this winter.

“Newcastle decided to call up Dubravka as he hardly ever played for Manchester United. Eddie Howe approved the decision,” Romano said.
“Man United will now think about the goalkeeper situation, no decision has been made yet, surely not the priority now that the striker situation has not yet been resolved.”
Newcastle fans will be intrigued to see what this means for Dubravka’s role at St James’ Park, having lost his place in Howe’s side despite showing plenty of quality when he was the regular starter in goal for the Magpies.
