MANCHESTER UNITED have recalled goalkeeper Matej Kovar from loan at Swindon Town.
The 20-year-old headed to the County Ground last summer to spend the campaign with the Robins.

Now the Czech stopper has had that stint cut short – although he is expected to go elsewhere for the remainder of the season.
Kovar started impressively at Swindon but kept just one clean sheet in 20 appearances for the League One strugglers.
He will link back up with United’s Under-23 squad back at Carrington.
But the club are looking into the possibility of sending him out to another EFL team.
Swindon want to replace him before the weekend and have been linked with Bournemouth’s Mark Travers.
Kovar has trained regularly with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-team in the past.
He is still yet to make his senior debut for the Red Devils despite shining at youth level and helping the U23s to promotion last year.
Meanwhile, former United prodigy Will Keane has recently been discussing the problems Red Devils youngsters may face out on loan.

He told MEN Sport: “It’s tough.
“I think the style of play, with these lads coming up through the ranks and then getting in the reserve team, they’re used to that and it’s a very technical game.
“And it’s not men’s football, so when you have that first exposure, it probably is a bit of a wake-up call to a lot of players, really. It’s a different game.”
