Goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been backed to quickly get over any disappointment of potentially not being able to play for Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
With the Reds drawn against Henderson’s parent club in the last-four of the competition, written permission would be needed from Manchester United for him to feature. And the suggestions are that is not something Erik ten Hag’s side will consider granting.
The 25-year-old was the hero of the hour on Wednesday night as Wolverhampton Wanderers were seen off in the quarter-finals. He made a trio of big saves during the game and then stopped two spot-kicks during the penalty shootout needed to separate the sides.
