Paul Parker has urged Dean Henderson to join the Saudi-backed revolution at Newcastle United. Fresh reports in the Manchester Evening News claim the Red Devils goalkeeper was on Tyneside in recent days to discuss a loan move this summer, though Newcastle have played down those links.
A reported swap deal with Martin Dubravka fell through in January due to the Slovakian's desire to stay put at St James' Park. While a loan move is preferable, a permanent deal has not been ruled out as the Magpies look to bolster their ranks ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. The England international - who earned plaudits during a two-year loan stint at Sheffield United - has barely featured since returning to Manchester.
David De Gea is the undisputed number one at Old Trafford and Henderson will require a move if he is to regain his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad ahead of the World Cup finals. Former Man United defender Parker believes a move to Newcastle would allow the 25-year-old to showcase his talents in a pressure cooker environment.
