Dean Henderson joined Manchester United's academy as a teenager and he dreamed of becoming the club's starting goalkeeper.
In the summer of 2021, he was within touching distance of realising that ambition when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave him assurances that he'd be the first-choice goalkeeper for the new season, a promise that wasn't subsequently kept.
Henderson contracted Covid-19 and he struggled with 'prolonged fatigue', meaning he was unavailable for the opening game of the 2021/22 Premier League season. David de Gea started that game instead and never looked back.
