Man Utd lose first player of January transfer window to leave Erik ten Hag with dilemma | Football | Sport

Dubravka was signed on a season-long loan from the Magpies in August. Ten Hag wanted depth in the goalkeeper department after Dean Henderson was allowed to join Nottingham Forest in a temporary deal. 

The 33-year-old made just two appearances, with both coming in the League Cup. But he leaves a gaping hole in quality in goal. 

A club statement read: “Martin Dubravka has been recalled from his season-long loan to Manchester United by his parent club Newcastle United. The Slovakian goalkeeper has made two appearances for the Reds since arriving from Tyneside in the summer, both in the Carabao Cup.”

It added: “We would like to thank Martin for his contribution during his time with our club, and wish him all the best for the future.”
