According to transfer news from Sky Sports, Chelsea are among the clubs to be keeping tabs on Dean Henderson. The young shot-stopper was dropped for the last game, which has put his position at the club under the scanner again.
Manchester United are juggling hot potatoes with their two goalkeepers. There’s the experienced David De Gea who has been in an error-strewn form for the last three seasons. Then there’s Dean Henderson, the young upstart who wants to be the No.1 for the club.
After a series of errors by De Gea, Henderson was allowed to take the mantle for three months. However, after the result against Liverpool, he was dropped against Fulham to give way to De Gea. Whether or not it was rotation is not clear, but with the final of the Europa League in a week’s time, it looks increasingly likely that the big Spaniard might be keeping his place.
While discussion has been there as to who should make way for whom, the latest snub against Fulham has triggered more speculation on Henderson’s future. He has said that he will only remain at United if he is the first choice. Due to the same, clubs like Chelsea have kept monitoring the situation.
It’s not that the Blues urgently need a new keeper. Mendy has been a reliable man but the fact is that Henderson is a talented keeper. Provided the situation goes south, it wouldn’t be an entirely bad idea if Chelsea swoop in for the English keeper in the summer.
