The club have now confirmed he's signed a new two year deal with the option for a third.

Ideally Dave will stick around for two years more, by which time Dean will be ready and Dave is a record-breaking transfer to the tune of a couple of hundred millionI do find it odd that he's signed a new contract. He must have ambition to be a starter one day, but with De Gea retaliating his commitment to us, with Madrid clearly on the prowl for another goalkeeper and with Romero signed up till 2022 - it's an odd extension.
I'm happy, but just doesn't seem to add up.
De Gea could in reality be our number 1 for another 10 years if he follows the trend of GOAT keepers.
So when he does go we get good money for him as oppose to him leaving for nothing.Non event. never going to be a first team player at Utd so what's the point
I think it makes sense, we are his club and there is always a chance DDG will leave. He's guaranteed to get a good loan and develop well. I am sure he's allowed to leave if he decides for a permanent move.I do find it odd that he's signed a new contract.

Championship Manager thinking right there hahaIdeally Dave will stick around for two years more, by which time Dean will be ready and Dave is a record-breaking transfer to the tune of a couple of hundred million
A lot can happen i football. He knows it is up to himself and will get a lot of games on loan. If he impresses he knows Manchester United might have a spot for him sooner or later. Doesn't need to be 10 years, cut that in half and De Gea leaves a legend at 32 for a pile of cash while Henderson is 26 and thriving for a top 10 side. People have been on loan for about 5 years before haven't they?I do find it odd that he's signed a new contract.

Who the hell is going to pay good money for Dean Henderson. Who the hell is Dean Henderson anywaySo when he does go we get good money for him as oppose to him leaving for nothing.
He's Dean fecking Henderson.Who the hell is going to pay good money for Dean Henderson. Who the hell is Dean Henderson anyway
If he reaches his potential, a lot of teams will. It's telling that only a month ago, the likes of Arsenal and Spurs were linked with trying to take him for free.Who the hell is going to pay good money for Dean Henderson. Who the hell is Dean Henderson anyway
Played brilliantly for Shrewsbury last year and one of the reasons why they almost got promoted. I imagine a lot of English clubs will have scouted him.Who the hell is going to pay good money for Dean Henderson. Who the hell is Dean Henderson anyway
Yeah, it's almost like having 3 goalkeepers is important at a top club. Plus Romero is good but won't be here forever.Non event. never going to be a first team player at Utd so what's the point
So we should just get rid of all players who are not going to be first team players? Henderson might not be United's starting goalkeeper in the future because we have De Gea but the lad is talented as feck and could go for big money in a few years.Non event. never going to be a first team player at Utd so what's the point
Lost in the play-off final.Yeah, it's almost like having 3 goalkeepers is important at a top club. Plus Romero is good but won't be here forever.
What happened to Shrewsbury in the end, thought they were on track for promotion, did they make it?
Ran out of steam towards end of the season, played 60+ games I think and didn't have the squad to cope. They didn't concede many thiugh and Henderson was a big part of that.Yeah, it's almost like having 3 goalkeepers is important at a top club. Plus Romero is good but won't be here forever.

They had a few injuries in key areas, mainly up front.What happened to Shrewsbury in the end, thought they were on track for promotion, did they make it?
I'd say Dean Henderson, English and the youth academy product since he was a kid, he would appeal more valuable rather than Pereira who just came to us as 16 years old, from different countries.Who does everyone have higher hopes for Henderson or J. Pereira?
Jose has hyped Pereira up but he’s looked substandard every time he’s got near the United first team. Henderson is doing well but if he’s United standard is different question altogether.Who does everyone have higher hopes for Henderson or J. Pereira?
Have you watched him play much or just a feeling you get? I ask because you said "looks like..."Wow that's one of the most honest interviews I've seen from a footballer, fair play to him. Not a big fan of his, reminds me of Hart, looks like he's easily distracted. I'm not really a fan of Pereira neither, just seems very over confident and looks rather average.
I saw about half the matches he played in for Shrewsbury last season and a few for Sheffield United this season. I'm more confident about him having a good career than Pereira, don't think it'll be with us though.Have you watched him play much or just a feeling you get? I ask because you said "looks like..."
I've seen him play half a dozen times and he screams goalkeeper to me, but funnily enough I can see why you'd think that. Sometimes he comes as a bit overconfident.
Almost impossible to say if he'll have a career at United, but I'd put money on him having a very good professional career at a good level.
That's fair. You're definitely more qualified than me to make that judgement then.I saw about half the matches he played in for Shrewsbury last season and a few for Sheffield United this season. I'm more confident about him having a good career than Pereira, don't think it'll be with us though.
