Dean Henderson is reportedly close to signing
a new long-term contract with Manchester
United and could battle David de Gea for
the club's number one goalkeeping spot next
term.
The 23-year-old has spent each of the last
two seasons on loan with Sheffield United,
making 36 Premier League appearances during
the 2019-20 campaign, keeping 13 clean sheets
in the process.
Henderson is heading back to Old Trafford
this summer, though, and according to Sky
Sports News, he is on the verge of penning
a new contract with the Red Devils in excess
of £100,000 a week.
The report claims that the Englishman could
now be given the chance to rival De Gea for
the gloves next term, although another loan
move away from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side
has not been ruled out.
De Gea struggled for form during the latter
stages of the 2019-20 season and made two
high-profile errors in the FA Cup semi-final
against Chelsea.
As many as seven Premier League teams are
allegedly interested in loaning Henderson
next term.
