maybe he would (exchange) for Lingard, Pereira or Jones?
Dean Henderson has to be our #1 next season? Poll added

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Seems like no keeper has come out of lockcdown on form to be honest. Can think of a lot of poor keeping from almost every keeper so far.
De Gea was easily the best keeper in the league during the second half of the season. He won the award of the best keeper comfortably in his second season.
So yeah, compare them and De Gea wins by a margin of the size of our galaxy.
Just let Henderson be at Sheffield for another season. We can decide in the summer of 2021. Both keepers would be happy to stay where they are for one more season.
Yes - he has made a few howlers. Bad ones, no argument here. But he makes one save every 3-4 games that will go in with most other goalkeepers there. So would we be better off with Henderson ? Nah - even if De Gea makes 3-4 howlers every season and Henderson only makes 1 - De Gea still saves 4-5 shots that Henderson doesn't save.
So I still prefer De Gea with the odd Everton and Watford howler, than 99% of other goalkeepers
This is not the case. We are expected to concede 31 goals this season and we actually concede 31, while Sheffield are expected to concede 44 goals this season and they actually concede 32. So de Gea is just making saves he's expected to make, while Henderson is preventing 12 goals that will go in with most other goalkeepers there.
If Henderson wasnt on loan and was available for transfer for say 30 million, would you be happy with the signing?
not sure if he's ready to be the starter at United, but he's been one of the best goalkeepers in the league this season
what i'm sure of is given De Gea's season(one of the worst starting gk in the league) it would make very little sense not to keep Henderson for training camp and let him compete with De Gea for the job. If he loses out he can still be loaned out easily enough

Replacing De Gea though? Agree with the logic of looking for long term keeper but this is a lad that's only had 1 season of top flight football, in a team with less expectations.
Would he happy with replacing Romero as number 2?
The best anagram of his name I've found is 'soreheaded', although that's leaving a few letters out.
Were you expecting De Gea criticism?
Were you expecting De Gea criticism?
Yes please. Honestly sick of de gea now.
Henderson deserves his chance.
Henderson deserves his chance.
He might not be the answer short term, but De Gea for sure isn't. If he made that, people would say he needs another year at Sheffield. Or De Gea saves that. I see
De Gea is a joke and should have no future here

Again getting scapegoated for a mistake of Maguire.
Just get him in. Anybody is an improvement on De Gea at this point.
It's a shot straight at him. Getting nutmegged is not a mistake.
De Gea has lost a fraction of a second in speed which made the difference between being good and being great.
That goal was more on Maguire to be fair
Would like him to be given a chance. If he can’t handle it, Romero can step in. I love DDG and he’s been fantastic for us, but his mistakes are becoming too frequent & could cost us.
Its obviously a huge mistake in your own box to get nutmugged as a CB
It was from 5 meters in one on one.
Since when getting nutmegged is not a mistake? I guess since United collectively lose their brain and paid for a 30m player 80m pounds and decided that he is the leader they needed.
Both, same as Spurs.
Standard save for a GK. Take your De Gea glasses off. If Lloris, Kepa or Ederson made that, you would laugh your ass off.
Yep. Just wanted to say that. It is him or Lindelof. "Maguire didn't do well BUUUT DDG/Lindelof/Shaw did worse"
So you don't think a Premier League keeper should stop that? Sure Maguire was shite but De Gea should be saving that all day long. He gave a player, who was on a near impossible angle, the near side of the net. It's terrible keeping and it's terrible defending by our 80 million CB.
Did Henderson not have worse mistake a couple days ago
Nothing to do with Lindelof. Maguire got exposed again as has been doing for the entire season. But it is not cool to criticise him cause we finally have a 'leader'.
It was from 5 yards in one on one. It could have been saved but it is not a mistake.
Shockingly, it's possible for two players to make a mistake in the same move.
Maguire should obviously have done better, but it doesn't excuse De Gea making another mistake. Again. Like he has been for nigh on two seasons. I'm not sure how anyone can think it's good enough.
We don't talk about things like that in the Henderson cult. Henderson is the best goalkeeper in the world.
It was not mistake by DDG. He could have done better (he conceded goal so of course he could) but it is not mistake. He was caught one on one with attacker 5m from goal. He could have go on safe and stick his body on the post and open another corner to attacker. He tried to cover both corners.
De gea is done. Its been a year and a half since he's been good. Sell him in the summer. Thanks for your service but if you want to challenge for the big trophies no room for sentimentality
It was from an impossible angle. He conceded in his corner. Big mistake
Stanislas wasnt running through the middle at him. If he curls it in at the other side, then it was not a mistake
That is what i am talking about. Dave didn't play it on safe. "I will cover first corner and cocer myself and other corner is not my fault". He tried to cover both corners.
His job is to cover the corner to the right of him, because it is easier to score there and a shorter distance. No matter how you frame it, it was a mistake
It was not mistake. Not great keeping but not mistake.
Might as well get new defenders then if mistakes are not tolerated. Just last week Henderson gave away a goal from that angle.
It was. He is not there to speculate and cover both, but to take the close one. Basic GKing. Same as Maguire not getting duped like a schoolboy.
Let me enjoy the game now
Its not one mistake. He wouldn't start for liverpool, city, arsenal and that says it all.
This is far worse imo, that angle it shouldn’t be possible to score so easily from
you all blame de gea. yes hes not in top form, and bringing in dean could be a good option. but ive always said this, maguire just isnt cutting it. yes hes quite consistent and does bring in alot in defence, but in united fashion, his errors leads to goals.
