Martin Dubravka clause in imminent Man Utd transfer speaks volumes about Dean Henderson

Manchester United are willing to give Dean Henderson another shot at being the club's first-choice goalkeeper.

That's what their imminent deal to sign Martin Dubravka on loan from Newcastle suggests, as the Red Devils have reportedly avoided any stipulation which means they'd have to buy the Slovakian permanently next summer. With Henderson out enjoying a temporary spell with Nottingham Forest after growing frustrated with his "criminal" situation back at Old Trafford, David de Gea is once again without any serious competition for the No.1 jersey at United.

New Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag and the club's recruitment quickly realised that De Gea needs someone to challenge him following a shaky start to the season, and Dubravka has emerged as that man. The 33-year-old is set to join United on a season-long loan with an option to buy for £5million after the campaign comes to an end.
