Erik ten Hag confirms Andre Onana back-up plan if Man Utd transfer pursuit fails

Erik ten Hag has said Dean Henderson is a genuine option to start the season in goal for Manchester United, if their pursuit of Andre Onana fails.

United are trying to finalise a deal for Inter Milan keeper Onana, but are only willing to pay around £42m, with the Serie A side wanting £50m. If a fee cannot be agreed, Ten Hag said he would be happy to put his faith in Henderson, who has returned to United after a season on loan at Nottingham Forest.

Asked if Henderson was a genuine option if a deal for Onana cannot be done, Ten Hag said: “Of course. I followed him through the whole of last season. Of course goalkeeper is a key position, but I'm happy with the players we have now. You never know with transfers, but we’re working on it.”
