Nottingham Forest sent transfer instruction after Man United hatch plan

Nottingham Forest supporters are suggesting that the club should attempt to re-sign Brice Samba before pursuing a permanent deal for Manchester United loanee Dean Henderson.

Samba, 28, left the City Ground after three seasons as the Reds ' number one culminated by securing promotion in the Championship play-off final. A move to the French side Lens followed during July and six months on Samba and company sit second in the Ligue 1 table just five points behind perennial champions Paris Saint-Germain.

But some Forest fans are still hoping that a reunion for Samba could be in store this summer. Here is a selection of the social media reaction to reports about Henderson's future...

Keith Lee: I'd rather have Samba back...

Jez Warren: Not the best keeper, his distribution is poor and is also poor on shots from outside the box. Although Samba worries me, I'd much prefer him.

Ryan Savage: Depends if we stay up or not.

Paris Coulson: Henderson has been alright for us but I don't understand the rave for him. The GK position was probably the position we didn't need to change at all on the pitch.

What was wrong with Samba and Horvath? They both proved their worth and would have done fine in the Premier League. Samba looks like he will be playing Champions League football next season, and he deserves it!

Mark Pearson: Bring back Samba. Embarrassing what we spent on transfers yet wouldn’t pay him.

Who would you prefer in goal, Henderson or Samba? Have your say in the comments...
