Manchester United star Dean Henderson attracting interest from across Europe
According to Sky Sports (h/t The Metro), the future of Manchester United star Dean Henderson may be up in the air this summer after he was dropped for the game against Fulham on Tuesday night.
The 24-year-old had started nine of the 10 league games leading up to the game against the Cottagers. Henderson looked suspect against Liverpool and could have done better for two of Liverpool’s goals last week.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer started David de Gea in goal on Tuesday in what could be a dress rehearsal for the Europa League final. With just one game to go ahead of the showpiece event, all eyes will be on who starts in goal against Wolves this Sunday.
Henderson signed a new contract with United last year worth around £100,000-a-week. He had made it clear that his stay at the club depended on whether he would be made the first-choice shot-stopper.
It appeared to be the case when he took over from De Gea in March. He largely held onto his position and appeared set to be the club’s first-choice keeper.
Being dropped against Fulham though, put a dampener on things. Solskjaer’s decision has attracted the attention of a number of top clubs, who are all watching Henderson’s situation with interest.
No lack of interest
The likes of Chelsea, Tottenham, Dortmund and AC Milan have all shown interest in the England international. United are unlikely to sell him to a domestic rival if at all a decision is made.
United are aware that they need to get rid of either De Gea or Henderson this summer. Selling the former could prove troublesome due to his massive wages. (h/t The Metro)
Whether this means Henderson will be the one to make way remains to be seen.

De Gea, to his credit, did well against Fulham. He even grabbed himself an assist for Edinson Cavani’s opener. The upcoming two games could give us a clear idea of who may start next season as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
