Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been urged to leave for Newcastle to reach his full potential and reboot his career. The Manchester Evening News understands that the Magpies are nearing a deal for the England shot-stopper.
The 25-year-old has largely played second fiddle to David De Gea since his loan at Sheffield United. Henderson was knocking on the door of regular England call-up after his success for the Blades in the 2019/20 season, but he’s been unable to earn another cap since his debut in a December 2020 friendly with the Republic of Ireland.
He was given a stint between the United posts towards the back end of last season when De Gea was underperforming, but has been unable to reclaim his place following a bout of Covid and the Spaniard’s return to form. As a result, he pushed for a January exit, albeit in vain, and now he looks to be leaving Old Trafford this summer.
