In a perfect world, there might be a temptation at Manchester United to bring Dean Henderson back into the fold this summer and allow him to lay down another challenge to David de Gea.
It is Henderson who has come closer than anyone to ending De Gea's grip on the gloves at United, but his chances of making that place his own were ruined by Covid. Having been promised the chance to start the 2021/22 season as first choice, he ended up stuck behind De Gea when his form picked up.
There are question marks once again over the Spaniard now, but it seems Henderson's days as a potential replacement are numbered. He is 26 and at a point where he isn't going to risk another season sitting on the bench.
