Erik ten Hag told what to do with Dean Henderson in Manchester United goalkeeper dilemma

Tomasz Kuszczak believes that new manager Erik ten Hag should do everything he can to keep Dean Henderson at Manchester United.

Henderson's future at Old Trafford has been cast into doubt ahead of the summer transfer window as the goalkeeper has hardly played this season, with just three appearances to his name. That is owed to the excellent, undroppable form of David de Gea but doesn't make it any less frustrating for a player who wants regular football.

The United academy graduate looked destined to usurp De Gea as No.1 as he started 10 of the last 12 Premier League games last season and the Spaniard's disastrous performance in the Europa League final defeat to Villarreal only helped his case. However, a nasty bout with Covid-19 in the summer meant Henderson was sidelined and couldn't cement his spot at the start of the season. Instead, the door was left open for De Gea who then roared back to his best.
