Dean Henderson wants a loan move away from Manchester United in January to get himself back on track after a battle with coronavirus, according to a report.
The 24-year-old returned to Old Trafford from a successful loan spell at Sheffield United last summer in the hope of establishing himself as the Red Devils’ number one. Despite starting last term on the bench, David de Gea’s trip to Spain earned him his chance.
He took the opportunity well too. As such, The Sun claims that boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had told Henderson that he would start the current campaign as the number one.
However, the Englishman’s battle with coronavirus has meant that De Gea has reassumed his spot between the sticks.
Henderson tested positive for the virus on July 13, and consequently missed the entirety of United’s pre-season programme. Indeed, he has only recently returned to private training sessions at Carrington.
But as he steps up his rehabilitation, he feels that a loan move away from Old Trafford would help him get back on track ahead of next season.
