Dean Henderson endured a frustrating 2021/22 season. Having gone blow for blow with David de Gea over Manchester United‘s number one jersey upon his return to the club for the 2020/21 campaign, Henderson found himself fighting a losing battle the following year.
De Gea finally seemed to arrest his post-2018 World Cup slump and produce the heroic displays necessary to stop Henderson from permanently replacing him between the sticks at Old Trafford.
Marry that to the Red Devils performing woefully in cup competitions and Henderson was limited to just three first-team appearances, understandably prompting him to seek pastures new this summer.
However, despite many fans expecting Henderson to wave goodbye to United on a permanent basis, it seems as though his Old Trafford dream isn’t over quite yet having signed for Nottingham Forest as part of a loan deal.
