As soon as he returned to Man United, goalkeeper Dean Henderson warned David De Gea when he affirmed that he returned to Old Trafford not to sit on the bench. And De Gea's No. 1 position is being seriously threatened by frequent errors leading to goals conceded in the last 2 seasons.
"I came to Man United to play football. I don't want to sit on the bench after what I did last season. The new season is about to start and will be a big problem if I don't get to play football. That won't be good for me and Man United," Goal quoted Dean Henderson as saying.
"De Gea has been an excellent goalkeeper and an important factor for Man United over the years. I longed to have a career like him. Therefore, I will return on the first day to compete for an official position at Man United.
You can learn more things when practicing, especially from someone who is excellent like De Gea and goalkeeper coaches. However, nothing can compare with the time on the pitch," he added.
Dean Henderson has just been " given" a 5-year contract by Man United with a salary of £120,000 per week, 10 times the old salary.
In the 2019-20 season with Sheffield United, Dean Henderson played a total of 40 matches in all competitions. In the Premier League alone, the English goalkeeper has kept 13 clean sheets, this number is only 3 times less than Man City's Golden Gloves winner Ederson.
