Manchester United have held talks with Newcastle United over the signing of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Dubravka missed Wednesday’s EFL Cup tie at Tranmere with the club officially saying he was ill.
United have cooled interest in Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp after they asked for £21million and have turned to Dubravka who they tried to sign in January as part of a deal involving Dean Henderson.

The 33-year-old Slovakia international would bring Premier League experience and vital competition for David de Gea and Tom Heaton.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have an interest in signing Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay if he is allowed to leave following the £70m signing of Brazilian Casemiro from Real Madrid.
