Man Utd star Dean Henderson signs season-long loan transfer to Nottingham Forest as keeper eyes England World Cup place

MANCHESTER UNITED’S Dean Henderson has completed a season-long loan move to Nottingham Forest.

The 25-year-old is looking for regular football ahead of the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, and is expected to be no.1 for the newly-promoted side.

Henderson will be looking forward to first-team at the City Ground next season
Henderson has either been sent on loan or second-choice to David De Gea for most of his seven years at Old Trafford
One condition of the loan is that the keeper cannot play against his parent club, Manchester United

Forest will pay all of his wages in the deal and it is understood there is no option to buy in the loan arrangement.

Henderson will also not be able to play against United during his loan.

The deal was believed to have been completed last week after Forest went into the market for a keeper.

Last season’s no.1 Brice Samba is reportedly unhappy with his wages and wants a move away from the club.

Spurs join free transfer race for unemployed Lingard after Man Utd release

Henderson has been limited to only appearances in cup competitions in recent seasons due to the form of David De Gea.

The Spanish stopper has been praised as one of United’s best players of the last couple of years, despite the club’s on-pitch struggles.

The signing of Henderson follows other ambitious business by Steve Cooper’s side.

Forest swooped for Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi last month and made him the club-record signing for £17.2m.

Another significant piece of business by the club was announced yesterday as star player Brennan Johnson signed a new four-year deal, despite being linked to other clubs.
