Dean Henderson is claimed to have told Manchester United that he won't accept being on the bench next season amid talks over a permanent move to Nottingham Forest.
The Reds are looking to secure the services of a goalkeeper who impressed during his loan spell at the City Ground last season. Henderson made important saves for Forest earlier in the campaign before picking up a season-ending injury in January.
It is his performances in the first few months of the 2022/23 season which have led the club to try and sign him this summer, as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping department. Wayne Hennessey is currently the Reds' only senior keeper, although they do still have Ethan Horvath on their books but his future remains unclear.
And MailOnline claim that Henderson has told his parent club that he won't accept a place on the Red Devils' bench when the new campaign begins in August. United are reportedly in talks to sign Inter Milan shot-stopper Andre Onana after long-serving keeper David de Gea left the club last weekend.

Henderson has returned to his parent club for the first time since May 2022. He was reportedly reluctant to train under new manager Erik ten Hag last June while negotiations to join the Reds on loan were at an advanced stage.
The reports adds that Henderson is set to play a part in United’s first pre-season friendly against Leeds in Oslo on Wednesday before travelling to the US as part of the club's tour.
It has previously been claimed that "there is next to no indication he is under consideration for a promotion to No.1," which would surely signal an end to his time at Old Trafford.
