Wow, what a grade A prick.
No. He might have had a chance but wasn't willing to risk it again. He wanted to give himself the best chance of playing.Aren't you annoyed that he left before ETH could have a look of him because he be believed that he'll dazzle ETH in keeping him at OT?
I agree with that. I think Solskjaer is responsible for a lot of the crap that happened in our squad - but not this. He promoted Henderson to number 1, intended to keep him that way, but he got Covid and De Gea was suddenly back in top form.I don’t get people putting blame on Solskjaer. I guess it is just another thing to blame managers for when we know by now our players and how they behaved last couple of years.
Lets agree to disagree then. I think that not talking to the manager is stupid especially considering the long term contract Henderson has got with the club. Outing such a thing with media is even worse. He probably managed to piss both the manager and most of the fans offNo. He might have had a chance but wasn't willing to risk it again. He wanted to give himself the best chance of playing.
Ole was wrong in promising everything to everyone. The players were even more stupid in believing him. Ultimately this hot mess is down to one thing. We had a spine and in some ways we still do that is clearly out of depth.I don’t get people putting blame on Solskjaer. I guess it is just another thing to blame managers for when we know by now our players and how they behaved last couple of years.
Yeah clearly (one of) the rotten apple. Several people on here called it too.Wouldn't surprise me if he was the leak by the way.
Man is so generic looking he'd blend into the background no problem. He's really missed his true calling as a spy.
Nuff said.Wow, what a grade A prick.
These are not bad reasons for being aggrieved. But all the good reasons are completely negated by they way he savages the club that is currently employing him and gave him a 6 year deal!I'm not bothered about this. If you were told you were going to play first team football and then went on to, pretty much, never play for the next 12 months you would be frustrated and annoyed. If, as seems to be insinuated, he was also not allowed to leave in January to play football, that would just makes things worse. On top of that, there is the regret that he turned down good loans in the summer to play about 2 games over 12 months, instead of gaining experience and developing.
Imagine if you took a training position in a job and then they never gave you the experience you were promised, wouldn't you be annoyed about that and want to move? Of course you would; it only makes sense to do so. I don't think the problem is that he actually didn't end up being first team; I think the issue is that he never actually played or got opportunities this season. That is a complete flip on the position he thought he was going to be in.
In the end, he is a player who clearly does not want to cash in on being a professional bench warmer. He wants to actually play football. And is he really that arrogant? In the end, he took a loan to Nottingham Forrest, who are a newly promoted team. I think that is someone who just wants to play football and is not showing an unrealistic level of belief in themselves. Otherwise, surely he would be expecting bigger clubs to come in for him instead of accepting this one?
Which is clearly what he wants, so maybe it is smart to make it untenable to keep him. Remember that we do have a tendency to hold onto players even if they want to leave: Darmian, Rojo, Lingard etc.Not smart from him at all. We'll probably sell him after this and he won't be missed. Never been wowed by him on the pitch.
Good riddance. He is not nearly as good as he thinks he is.Not smart from him at all. We'll probably sell him after this and he won't be missed. Never been wowed by him on the pitch.
Yeah why can't they be all more like Ronaldo?Typical of the English players in recent seasons. Most are just nothing but a bunch of untalented, overpaid troublemakers. Best to ship them out and replace them with foreign players.
Been hearing stuff like this about his character behind the scenes for years tbh, its why I always suspected he was one of the moles in the dressing room these last few years.A mate of mine works at the Lowry hotel and he says Henderson is the biggest twat out of all the United players.
Rude, arrogant and unfriendly.
Seems like a prick and we should get rid
I agree with all of this.There’s a lot we can learn from his outbursts
- how bad the dressing room was last year
- how unprofessional are todays footballers
- how misguided he is thinking a players spot is guaranteed
- how entitled he is. I mean don’t let the new coach look at me training because he will want to keep me?
Danny mills spot on here and i don’t normally agree with him
But if it was an important footballer who they care about looks after himself (not necessarily talking about ronaldo, it's always been this way hasn't it) and wants to make choices away from the club he is branded disloyal and a disgrace. Football is just business, in 99.9% of the cases clubs won't bat an eyelid to dismiss footballers who have served their purpose and are not up to it anymore. But when a footballer decides that a club is not up to HIS standards anymore he may not do anything or ELSE...Some of our fans have an astounding lack of empathy.
I think the feeling is that he has never done anything of any real value for United and we are still paying him 100k a week. He is smart enough to know that him saying that in public will be negative to United and maybe he should have a little more respect and gratitude.Don't really have an issue with anything he's said to be honest. Henderson has always been full of confidence (perhaps overly so) and given how the club would have known this it was ridiculous to have him and De Gea at the club for two seasons. He only had 3 appearances (in all competitions!!) which is a complete waste for everyone involved and I think he should rightfully be aggrieved. He's not a youngster on small wages so the idea of keeping him around just made no sense if we're honest.
Whether he should start ahead of DDG is another issue but I think this is more on use for poor management than him. We could have let him go on loan or permanently towards the end of the 2021 summer transfer window or let him go in January but we kept him both times.
Wasn't long ago many fans were calling for him to be number 1 and saying how much better the defence looks with Henderson behind them. And now suddenly he's crap? People have short memoriesI agree with all of this.
Says a lot when many fans are not too bothered about letting him go. Can't seem to find many supporters of his at all in this thread.
Before we gave him that contract it seemed like he was willing to leave in order to play regular football. He got a taste of first team football in 20/21 which was okay for one season but it was always going to be a problem hanging on to him and DDG last season. We haven't got any real value but we've also hardly played him too. Like I said 3 appearances in all competitions last season for a keeper on £100k is absolutely crazy from us. If Chelsea could sell or loan Kepa out, I'm sure they would have jumped at the opportunity. He's had suitors every window but we've turned them down for one reason or another.I think the feeling is that he has never done anything of any real value for United and we are still paying him 100k a week. He is smart enough to know that him saying that in public will be negative to United and maybe he should have a little more respect and gratitude.
