Crystal Palace Targets Manchester United Keeper Henderson
Crystal Palace has made a stunning move for Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson. The Eagles have learned that the Old Trafford No. 2 is available on a loan-to-buy basis, and they are eager to bring him on board as their current goalkeeper, Vicente Guaita, is expected to leave Selhurst Park.
United's Demand and Nottingham Forest's Withdrawal
Manchester United initially wanted cash or a guarantee that the 26-year-old Henderson would permanently join Nottingham Forest if he played enough games this season. However, Forest backed away from pursuing the goalkeeper due to his injury-shortened loan spell with them last season. This has prompted Crystal Palace to enter the race for Henderson's signature.
Palace's Persistance and Other Possible Options
Despite facing obstacles, Crystal Palace is determined to find a solution and has two loan spaces available. They are also considering Southampton's Alex McCarthy and have inquired about Leicester's Daniel Iversen. Henderson's close friendship with current Palace No. 1 Sam Johnstone adds an interesting dynamic to the potential battle for the first-team jersey.
Previous Expected Move to Nottingham Forest
Earlier this month, it was reported that Manchester United expected Henderson to join Nottingham Forest. However, concerns about the goalkeeper aggravating his injury during a premature medical examination led to both parties reconsidering the deal. Nottingham Forest has instead signed Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner.
