Dean Henderson has been told he needs to head out on loan from Manchester United next season in order to become England’s first-choice goalkeeper for the World Cup.
Having been right in the mix with Jordan Pickford last summer, Henderson has dropped out of contention both at international and club level. With David de Gea in superb form for United this season, the academy graduate has made just three appearances in 2021/22.
Having been left frustrated by his lack of opportunities, Henderson came close to departing on loan in January, only to see a move away blocked by United. He has since been tipped to leave Old Trafford in the summer, with a move looking vital to his World Cup chances.
