Journalist Chris Waugh thinks Eddie Howe would be frustrated to lose Martin Dubravka on Deadline Day.
The 33-year-old is set to join Manchester United on a loan deal as he wants a new challenge for himself.
Man UTD are keen to bring another goalkeeper to compete with David de Gea and the deal looks imminent right now.
“He keeps saying ‘it’s not my decision’ and he keeps saying ‘I would prefer not to lose any players’, which seems a little bit unrealistic given that he has four senior ‘keepers and has too many players, so he really does need to move one of them on, but I think he would prefer if it wasn’t Dubravka, really, given the experience that he has.” – said Waugh for Pod on Tyne podcast.
The Slovakia international has been unhappy after dropping to the bench since Newcastle completed the signing of Nick Pope this summer.
