DBasia.news – Dean Henderson had reportedly asked for assurance to become Manchester United’s first goalkeeper, replacing David De Gea. This guarantee is a condition for further commitment with the Red Devils.
Dean Henderson is currently playing with Sheffield United on a loan contract that expires on July 31, 2020. His contract at Man United itself runs until June 30, 2022.
Following his slick performance, with Dean Henderson keeping 13 clean sheets throughout the 2019/2020 Premier League season so far, the 23-year-old goalkeeper has drawn a lot of attention from other clubs.
On the other hand, David De Gea’s performance with the Red Devils this season has also been in the spotlight due to a number of fatal blunders that he had done under the crossbar. No doubt there is a discussion about whether he still deserves to be relied upon as Man United’s first goalkeeper next season, when Dean Henderson is expected to return from the loan spell.
According to The Times, as quoted by SportsMole, when returning from the loan spell, Dean Henderson took aim at being Man United’s first goalkeeper by shifting David De Gea next season. He believes his performance when loaned out should have been worthy of being able to take the main position under the Red Devils crossbar.
The report added, Dean Henderson would even try to find a loan contract at another club if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is unable to give him a guarantee to occupy the position as Man United’s main goalkeeper next season.
Today there are also rumors that Chelsea are continuing to monitor developments in the situation regarding Dean Henderson’s future at Man United. The Blues are also said to be ready to take advantage if they see an opportunity to bring in the goalkeeper this summer.
