Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was left out of Newcastle United's matchday squad for their clash with Wolves on Sunday afternoon amid ongoing links connecting him with a move to Manchester United.

United, who are closing in on the signing of Brazilian international Antony, want to add a back-up goalkeeper to their ranks ahead of the transfer window slamming shut on Thursday evening. Dean Henderson has left Old Trafford on loan this summer, joining Nottingham Forest, meaning Tom Heaton is David de Gea's only competitor for the No.1 spot.

However, the Reds are determined to add more competition to the goalkeeping department before the window closes and have been strongly linked with Dubravka over the past week or so. The 33-year-old was on United's radar as recently as January but rejected a deadline day loan move to Old Trafford.
