MARTIN DUBRAVKA reportedly has his heart set on a move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils are believed to have offered to take the Newcastle stopper on loan, with an option to buy for £5million.
Toon though are standing firm and want a straight sale rather than a temporary move, according to the Daily Mail.
But Dubravka himself wants the club to change their mind and sanction an immediate permanent deal.
The 33-year-old is desperate to secure a switch to Old Trafford before the transfer window slams shut.
And he is reported to be fearful that Newcastle’s stance could cost him the chance to join Erik ten Hag’s side.

Dubravka has been relegated to the bench at St. James’ Park following the arrival of Dean Henderson this summer.

Meanwhile Newcastle were claimed to have held talks about signing United midfielder Scott McTominay on loan.
But the midfielder is part of Ten Hag’s plans and will not be allowed to leave the club.
