Manchester United took the decision to once again loan Dean Henderson out for the 2022/23 season. The English goalkeeper looked on the cusp of taking the starting spot around a year ago, but David de Gea's resurgence in shot-stopping form and an untimely bout of Covid derailed Henderson's rise to being the club's number one.
With his temporary departure, however, a spot has opened up in the squad for a backup goalkeeper. The Manchester Evening News understands that United had explored the possibility of bringing either Watford's Daniel Bachmann or Newcastle's Karl Darlow as back-up for the upcoming season.
New reports have now claimed United may have settled on Thomas Strakosha, who is available on a free transfer after leaving Lazio this summer. At 27, the Albanian keeper still has a lot of his career ahead of him and would be a fine backup to De Gea this season.
