Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their attempt to replace Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Dean Henderson this season.
David De Gea is United’s number one after Henderson was allowed to join Forest on loan in July. The Spain international was recently criticised for his performance in a 4-0 loss to Brentford but boss Erik ten Hag currently only has the experienced Tom Heaton challenging for De Gea’s place.
It was reported by ESPN that United expect Henderson to “compete for the number one spot” next season upon his return to Old Trafford. However, the club are claimed to still be searching for a new goalkeeper this summer and have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp, who has confirmed he turned down an approach from the club.
