Martin Dubravka explains secret ingredient

Dubravka will hope to get a run-out in the upcoming friendlies with Cadiz and Real Betis in Spain, as the Reds begin to prepare for a return to domestic action after the World Cup.

“You always have to be ready,” he explained. “I’m trying to prepare as a normal game, it’s up to the coach who he is going to pick, but I try to be fit.

“I had a couple of offers as well from abroad, and here in England in as well, which I considered. But, obviously when I had the chance to join Manchester United, it was quite simple for me. I wanted to join and want to be part of the process and part of this club. So I’m here now.

“We are very professional, we take it very seriously, and are trying to be ready to perform on the pitch.

“I’m trying to help David [De Gea] to feel ready, but, at the same time, create a very good environment so he feels he has support when he needs it. Even you say it, the goalkeepers’ group is very tight. We work together almost every morning, more than with the players, so we have to stick together and have a good relationship together.”

The matches will be shown live on MUTV, which can be accessed via the Man Utd app on the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, on ManUtd.com or via the following connected TV platforms; Samsung Smart TVs, Android TV, LG Smart TVs, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku TV and Xbox.
