Newcastle have intensified their interest in Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Toon sources say boss Eddie Howe, who wanted Henderson on loan in January, sees the £20million-rated England international as the ideal successor to Newcastle No1 Martin Dubravka. Henderson, 25, is understood to be ready to seek a move unless incoming Old Trafford boss Erik Ten Hag guarantees that he will become the Red Devils’ first-choice keeper ahead of David de Gea.
Two impressive loans spells with Sheffield United in 2018-19 – when he helped the Blades win promotion to the Premier League – and the following season, led to Henderson earning his solitary England cap on his return to United. The Cumbrian came on at half-time in the 3-0 friendly win over the Republic of Ireland at Wembley in November 2020.
