Manchester United have blocked Watford's 11th-hour attempt to sign Dean Henderson on loan.
Henderson, 24, has generated interest from Ajax, Newcastle and Watford amid his wish to leave this month but United are reluctant to let him go as they would not have enough time to recruit a back-up goalkeeper.
Watford had enquired about Henderson to arrest their goalkeeping issues. Ben Foster and Daniel Bachmann have started almost an equal number of Premier League games this season and Watford appointed Roy Hodgson as their new manager last week.
