Nottingham Forest’s pursuit of Dean Henderson is set to have multiple knock-on effects for Erik ten Hag in his first window as Manchester United boss.
Newly-promoted Forest have earmarked Henderson as a replacement for Brice Samba, who informed City Ground bosses of his intention to leave this summer. Samba has just one year remaining on his current contract, but doesn’t plan on an extension, with Nantes believed to have launched an offer.
As for Henderson, Mirror Sport understands that he has grown frustrated at a lack of playing time having emphatically lost the battle for the No.1 jersey to David de Gea. The 24-year-old had appeared to have edged out De Gea at the end of the 2020/21 season, only for injuries to allow the Spaniard to reclaim his starting role.
