The problem is henderson is not gone and for our player to speak as he does out on loan shows how far we have fallen, his arrogance astounds me for an average keeper. Our business model is failing the fans. Until these problems are resolved we are going nowhere. I think we have to put a free £5million cheque around some of players necks to get them to leave. Phil Jones, dreary me we will end up offering him Director of football when his contract eventually runs out in 2 years. The only light is hopefully ETH has some magic dust in his pocket and his football brain helps us to close to gap.
His attitude isn't suprising, he sounds like the vast majority of our squad. That is, an entitled loser who thinks they're a winner.
Good riddance.
Good riddance.
One would expect clubs are lining up to "buy" him for "big money" with all the talk he puts in.
Just read the BBC article about him with the direct quotes. He can feck right off.
No wonder the club sank with players that have attitudes like this.
Gone up in my estimation. Good on him for calling out broken promises tbh.
Guessing you are one of the resident people here that love anything english
If he was good enough he would have been chosen over DeGea. If he performed better in training he would have been chosen over DeGea.
So promises couldn’t give a flying feck. Now he can pretty much do one and I hopeIs sold because with an attitude like this he deserves nothing . “Entitled” Which I would say was a major squad issue last season.
At least majority people on this forum are calling him out for his ridiculous comments. On reddit red devils forum, people seem to be getting downvoted for not agreeing with Henderson.
cnut.
He's obviously gone a bit overboard with his comments, but I'd say many (most?) on here are also going overboard about how bad the comments are.
If I were in his position I'd be extremely frustrated and pissed off as well. A footballers career is a relatively short thing, and he's wasted the majority of the last few years here without being given a chance. The one time he did get a chance he proceeded to perform better than his competitor has for the majority of the last four years. Not amazing or anything, but it's not like De Gea was setting a high standard. Not only that but he's been told one thing and then it hasn't happened. If De Gea had played well all season then it might be understandable, but in reality he fell away badly again in the second half of the season.
Now, the one exception is if the club themselves think the rumours of him being a leak are true. If they do then I'm completely in agreement with him being frozen out. feck him off as fast as possible. But if that's not the case then he has been treated very poorly, and my hope is that he will perform well enough this season that (unless De Gea does the unlikely and becomes a more all-round keeper) he will be bought back to be our #1. I have definite doubts if he's good enough long-term, but I do think he us good enough to tide us over for a couple of years while we focus on other positions.
Astounding quotes given he's on loan.
He is not the first one to have complaints about the club though. In the past years, from Blind to Herrera to Martial, all have something to moan about the club. But they did not go bad mouth the club while contracted here. It shows very poorly on the person to bad mouth the club that is still paying one of the biggest salary for a backup keeper.
Yeah but is there a way back after those quotes?
One thing I will say about Henderson is that he has always given the impression that he just wants to play. He's one of the few players in the squad that I do think would be willing to take a pay cut to become first choice somewhere else (even if only because he backs himself to prove good enough he'd then get a pay increase again). I could be wrong, but he's always seemed desperate for game-time. Preferably with us, but if it's not going to happen he wants to go elsewhere.
Like I said, I don't think the quotes are as bad as what is being made out. It is enough that it will hurt his chances (especially as ETH does seem to be quite strict), but I don't think it's enough to put a line through his name if he does comfortably outperform De Gea this season (which I think he's got a better than 50% chance of doing).
Him not wanting ETH to see him and not even talking to the guy. That's just a bit. Daft.
Him calling United them already while on loan and being most excited to play vs Them is kind of bad.
If, he ( henderson) is so good in his own world why has Forest or other clubs not ran to Old trafford with transfer money ?.Whilst Man Utd were on pre season where were all the bids for this guy who refused to speak to our new manager. There is one thing valuing your car (talent) high but that only works if others view it desirable too and pay up and not head to Hertz for a rental.
If that were the case, then he would have already found a club that will buy him for money and put in a transfer request. United may or may not let him leave, but it would look like he has tried all his options.
Yup absolute cnut.
What a cnut. Thinks he's better than he actually is. When he left 3/4 of the net open for Salah to score on , that's all I needed to see.
Being most excited to play against us is the thing that is being most overplayed IMO. People seem to be seeing it as him being vindictive and aggressive against the club, whereas I take it as him wanting to prove his abilities the best way of all. The reality is that nobody except him knows for sure which way he meant it, so I'm not going to hold it against him.
I agree with those on Reddit, then. Fans complain about players that sit on the bench, never play, and won't leave, while also complaining about a guy that wants to play football. I respect any player that wants to play. Don't lie to players and say they'll be your #1. If you're not going to play them, let them leave. All Henderson seems to have wanted is to play. He is deluded on how good he thinks he is, but I think most players are. They're just not telling people that publicly.
I wanted to see him get time in the team. Our defenders have looked like complete clowns playing in front of De Gea. We were better as a team with Henderson in goal. Less goals conceded. More wins. Better performances and results. At this point, it doesn't seem like he cares about playing for us. He just wants to be #1 at any club.
Absolutely. He doesn’t have ability to support his claims, sadly.
Both our high wage players will be off the payroll if the worst happens and we go back down. Henderson is very friendly with Joe Worrall and Joe had been selling Forest for sometime (months). Henderson was our first transfer done and had been a long term target - A loan made sense for us as it freed up transfer funds for other players. It was also the reason Brice Samba left as he was told he wouldn’t be No1 next season.
Him and Lingard in the same team 
Another cnut that shouldn’t be anywhere near the club but will be stinking out the place until his contract expires in a few years.
What a prick! De gea player of the season for us...he rose to your arrival, whereas you cried. feck off out of United
And then sunk faster than the fecking Titanic. And yet still didn't stop our Austrian fraud of a manager to persist with him because of "squad harmony"
Shouldn’t be allowed back into Carrington. ‘them’, the people that overpaid you. Should have fecked this idiot off to Chelsea when Lampard was in charge.
He is spitting facts. People are sliding with the club here, but will absolutely destroy it tomorrow themselves.
His comments are daft if you think he will return. He wont, he will be sold in the summer, that is what he is angling for. He wont be waiting on us to get rid of calamity Dave.

What the hell is wrong with the dude. The club's biggest crime was thinking he was better than he actually was. The actual wrong was from a manager we have since sacked. Sympathise on that but hating the club is bonkers. You have players who don't celebrate against their former clubs and here this guy is casually having a celebratory wank to the thought of simply playing against us.
His self belief is admirable. You need to survive at the top level as a keeper or a striker.
Players who bitch after leaving have very little credibility with me as its like bad mouthing the ex after the divorce.
Ole used De Gea as well. Oh and Carrick. Ten Hag we wont know because Hendo clearly was affraid that another manager would choose Dave over him.
I'd be curious to know exactly what evidence/how you know Rangnick 'persisted' with DDG because of 'squad harmony'. Did he tell you?
One of the few that seems to have a bit of fight in him and see the rot at the club. Don't mind a bit of insane self belief in a keeper, and is one that has something to prove, not one that is a mental midget. Would be far better than DDG for us this season. If only he could be recalled.
He is far worse than De Gea as a goalkeeper and poision to have around
Whoscored ratings after two games: Henderson 7.05, De Gea 6.11.
Bullshit
