The debate over who should be Manchester United's number one goalkeeper has been raging for a few seasons now. David de Gea is the better shot-stopper, but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired. This has led to plenty of fans asking for Dean Henderson to be given a go.
During his run in the team in the 2020/21 season, despite not being as good a shot-stopper as De Gea (though not by a significant margin) the Englishman's all-round game was much better. However, at the start of the 2021/22 season, he contracted Covid-19 and this allowed De Gea to wrestle back his starting spot.
So who will be the number one under Erik ten Hag? Well, it seems like the fans have their answer as the Manchester Evening News understands United are in talks with Nottingham Forest over a loan deal for Henderson that could include an option to buy.
