Man Utd sent brutal Nottingham Forest transfer message as David De Gea flops in FA Cup final

Nottingham Forest supporters have been taunting Manchester United after David De Gea's questionable showing in the FA Cup final.

The Spanish goalkeeper was ridiculed on social media - unfairly or otherwise - for his part in Manchester City's winning goal in the cup showpiece at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.

City took the lead after just 13 seconds, Ilkay Gundogan volleying past De Gea to register the fastest-ever FA Cup final goal.

United equalised from the penalty spot through Bruno Fernandes, slotting home after Jack Grealish handled in the City area. But City claim a decisive lead on 50 minutes, and it was Gundogan again, finding the corner from outside the United box. Some thought De Gea could have done more to keep the shot out.

The incident came as Dean Henderson, who spent last season on loan at Forest from Man United, faces an uncertain future with the Reds keen to bring the stopper back to the City Ground on a permanent basis.

Some fans were left wondering whether United needed to keep Henderson after De Gea's efforts at Wembley, while others were more confident. This is what some of them have been saying...

@danscottCPP : Man U are going to want to keep Henderson aren't they?

@matt00008242 : Why are United ready to sell their best keeper to us?

@Jiminy_Bob : Can we sign up Hendo asap please? Before United change their mind.

@hannahforest : They will want to sign somebody new, I would have thought, and Henderson doesn't want to be back-up.

@BankzyNFFC : Dean Henderson is so much better than David De Gea, it’s not even funny.

@arrondwright : Bet they want Dean Henderson back now.

@L_Cooper7 : @NFFC sign up Hendo ASAP before Man U realise how poor De Gea is.

How much should Forest offer Man Utd for Dean Henderson? Let us know in the comments.
