We're in a bit of a predicament if he wants to see out the 5 year contract he signed in 2019.De Gea said:“Just to be part of this club is amazing, so imagine to be here for nearly 10 years. It’s like a dream.
“It’s great to play games with this club, so I hope I can be here for [many] more years.”
“I think the whole team improved a lot,” he added. “We were in a good moment. I think we were in very good, top form.
“We didn't concede many goals and, of course, with Bruno he brings a lot of quality. He's a clever player, a top midfielder.
"The team improved with him and it was a pity that everything stopped because we were in a good moment, but hopefully with some players that were injured will be fit when it all starts again, so it will be a good challenge for everyone."
I’d certainly have De Gea as first choice for the next season or two. Henderson is still very unproven at PL level and has no experience playing for a club at United’s level. We saw it with Foster who IMO is in the top 5 keepers in the league that he just wasn’t able for the level of scrutiny that comes with playing for United. There’s no guarantee Henderson won’t be the same.We're in a bit of a predicament if he wants to see out the 5 year contract he signed in 2019.
We have Dean Henderson who we've sent out on loan for the last 5 years who has climbed up from the National League, League 2, League 1, Championship and now is arguably one of the Premier League's best goalkeepers and on the verge of being the England #1.
Would back Henderson if I'm honest.
Not if they are playing at the top of their game, or a very good level.Football fans are so fickle.
Player wants to leave : abuse for being a traitor
Player wants to stay : abuse for wanting to stay
Player leaves : abuse the new guy for never being as good as prime old guy
Where do you see abuse?Football fans are so fickle.

Even noting De Gea's mistakes, he still plays a very good game. Most top keepers make their share of howlers.Not if they are playing at the top of their game, or a very good level.
Its good he wants to stay now, but maybe its not good for the club
Was it good for him to waste his prime at a no-hoper of a club like ours?Not if they are playing at the top of their game, or a very good level.

De Gea has been taking some of their share too. Everton was the last straw for me, his decline has gone on too long and I don’t expect him to start getting better from here on. Last season he cost us a place in the CL, and even that recent mistake against Everton alone could be all the difference in a season that may not be completed.Even noting De Gea's mistakes, he still plays a very good game.

Contracts aren't given they're negotiated between two parties. Why should Henderson sign a long-term deal on the basis of playing for Sheffield United when there's every chance a Champions League side, here or abroad, will want him as first choice? The current position might be repeatable for one more season, but if he's not brought back as first choice at the end of that he'll just let his contract run out.I’d certainly have De Gea as first choice for the next season or two.

I’d give Henderson a long-term deal and loan him to SU for another season or two. We can review it then. Would be far too soon to go making the change next season.
I think my biggest concern is that it's gone on mutliple seasons which makes me start wondering where the bad form ends and where the decline begins. Initiallly I thought it was just bad form, this season's been better than last one, and he'd be back to his old self sooner rather than later, now I'm not so sure he'll ever get back to what he once was.De Gea has been taking some of their share too.

I agree with the first bit, but whilst the second would be best for us I just don't see why Henderson would go along with it when all he has to do is run his contract down a bit more and then likely get an offer from a bigger club than Sheffield United, that actually want him as first choice.If a decent offer comes in for De Gea then sell and replace with Henderson.
If not, I would sell Henderson to Sheffield with a buyback clause in place unless De Gea dramatically declines. He’s got a few more mistakes in him than previous but he’s still a very good keeper. Unless someone bids relatively decent for him I can’t see you selling him.
Or it could be the sitter Ighalo missed in the last minute of that game. A game we would’ve lost but for a brilliant De Gea save in the end.De Gea has been taking some of their share too.

Let’s not get too carried away with Henderson.He still has a long way to go before he can even be considered as a potential Man Utd number 1.De Geas had a few blips recently,but I have no doubt in my mind that he”ll be back to his best soon....We're in a bit of a predicament if he wants to see out the 5 year contract he signed in 2019.

That's not true, he made more great saves than great mistakes.De Gea has been taking some of their share too.

Last season he cost us a place in the CL, and even that recent mistake against Everton alone could be all the difference in a season that may not be completed.
So United is a charity now? The club should do whats best for DDG and not itself?Was it good for him to waste his prime at a no-hoper of a club like ours?
I think he is a very good keeper, but I think we need a different type of keeper or a new set of defenders.Even noting De Gea's mistakes, he still plays a very good game. Most top keepers make their share of howlers.
Naturally. There’s not a single goalkeeper that makes more mistakes than saves.That's not true, he made more great saves than great mistakes.
For sure personally Henderson may be against that but it could be an option that United should perhaps look at if he does want to either be starting at the club or leave permanently. The fact that he has been at the club since 14 does highlight that he'll probably have a lot of love for it plus he's familiar with a lot of the English lads you have.I agree with the first bit, but whilst the second would be best for us I just don't see why Henderson would go along with it when all he has to do is run his contract down a bit more and then likely get an offer from a bigger club than Sheffield United, that actually want him as first choice.
Which sitter was that? I genuinely don't remember (it all seems so long ago.)Or it could be the sitter Ighalo missed in the last minute of that game. A game we would’ve lost but for a brilliant De Gea save in the end.
Yes, I hope so.For sure personally Henderson may be against that but it could be an option that United should perhaps look at if he does want to either be starting at the club or leave permanently.

Needs to play better than Ramsdale firstWe're in a bit of a predicament if he wants to see out the 5 year contract he signed in 2019.

Ugh, another one who just throws the fm insult out there. Grim.What a good plan, just when We start to look like a proper team instead of letting them grow together and form chemistry, We need to sell everyone instead.
People never learn. They think just because We have another good young player, We should replace the older one so easily. For them it's as easy as replacing 1 with 0.5 and you end up with 2 because younger player has more time. Years of De Gea saving our arse were forgotten so easily. And He's a GK by the way, not a 40 years old left winger. Go back to FM.
Don't blame anyone if by 2035 the club is still rebuilding. Thankfully, I don't think Ole is that silly.
Hint : Do you NOT remember what happened after Van Der Sar left the club? De Gea was a much better talent than Henderson and guess what happened? We could afford to do that because the squad was great back then. Now? I don't think so.
Also, first thing that came to mind"I hope I can earn £375k a week for many years to come"
Your head should be thinking to soon replace the declining overpaid number 1 keeper with the young GK from the youth ranks, that is improving year by year.My heart says reward De Gea for sticking with us during our lean years and back him.
My heart also says having England’s number one keeper from our own youth academy is what United should be all about.
My head doesn’t know what to think.
Not long before De Gea saved us Ighalo missed from about four yards.Which sitter was that? I genuinely don't remember (it all seems so long ago.)
