Dean Henderson slams "criminal" Man Utd behaviour and reveals Erik ten Hag snub

Henderson had broken into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting line-up in the second-half of the 2020/2021 season. That was enough to earn him a place in the England squad for Euro 2020 and he was expected to take over as United's first choice 'keeper for the following campaign after David de Gea had endured a difficult campaign.

But an ill-timed bout of Covid-19 and de Gea's return to form meant that Henderson spent last year sat kicking his heels on the bench. He made just three senior appearances in total, with none of those outings coming in the Premier League.
