Throw any stats you like at me, he isn't the answer as much as you're gonna tell me he is, he isn't a good goalkeeper and he's a negative presence in the dressing room.
Dean Henderson | Nottingham Forest loan watch

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.
Wouldn’t want this locker room leaking fanny anywhere near the club again, move on.
Buy a. New keeper..fk de gea
He's not great. But it proves even an average all round keeper is better than DDG. Literally any keeper who does more than wait on his line to make saves would be better than DDG.
It wasn't though. He had two or three bad games. The rest of the time he was solid. Which is a far higher percentage than De Gea has been performing at for over four years now.
There may be a Jan window recall clause in the loan deal - if so that’s the only way he’s going back to you - in this case though I don’t think there is.
What a shit position to be when our first chose keeper has zero competition.
He's a better goalkeeper than De Gea, and internet rumours say that he is a negative presence in the dressing room.
Bring him back.
He's not good enough for United but funnily he will probably have a better season than DDG with a low pressure team.
So, does not change the fact that he has is shit and is worse than Henderson currently. DDG being good once is irrelevant to the fact that he is shit currently.
Looks like Henderson was proven right after all, he was wronged by United.
MOTM today. We let our best goalkeeper go out on loan.
Can only laugh while we're stuck with De Gea for at least another season and looking to spend on another back up.
His kicking still wasn't great today and he didn't have a great game last week. Let's not get carried away.

I think the best strategy going forward is if the club do the opposite of what they think is the right decision

We also let him leave because he was adamant he wanted to leave. He even went on record and said he wanted out before he even spoke to ten Hag.
Ah, the Costanza method
Ten Hag's probably on the phone to Murtough now telling him he's just watched the Forest - West Ham game and seen a keeper he thinks we should sign.

He's a better keeper than De Gea, there's no argument there but he's still not the answer.
I know it's stick the boot in on United season, but... "Dean Henderson has had a lot of touches". Touches.
Seriously?
The crap Twitter accounts gassing up a man who stood eight yards off centre when one v one against Salah, because he saved a pen.
He's Pickford MK2. An over confident, t rex armed keeper.

He'd be our starter now if he hadn't gone off on a tangent
What breed is your guide dog?
Which points to him being heavily involved in the build up phase and comfortable with the ball at his feet.
That's some imagery.I watched the game. Forest passed it back to him a lot and most of the time he (inaccurately) booted it long. It's just a ridiculous thing to spin a narrative about.
And his critics keep pointing to the same one or two moments over and over, ignoring that overall he was making less mistakes than De Gea. Which considering one is a relatively inexperienced younger player who hadn't played consistently for over 6 months, and the other is on the verge of entering our top 10 most capped players of all time...
Making less mistakes happens when you're riding the bench. He's so average it's unreal.
That is a completely unfounded statement !
Not everything you read on the internet is true.
Why do these discussions always turn into De Gea vs Henderson whenever anybody says anything about either? Neither are good enough.
Pick basically any keeper from any midtable team and they'd be an upgrade on both. Sanchez, Raya, Martinez, Sa, Pope. All big upgrades. Pretty much anybody besides Danny Ward because Leicester haven't got in a replacement yet - and when they do I'd be shocked if whoever the feck that is isn't better than Henderson and De Gea as well.
Just his ability to command his area is more than good enough for me to want him over the chap that has been glued to his line for too long. We must evolve as a team and attempt to modernise our approach to the game. I've been repeating the same here for years.
Yeah I never understood that logic. It seems that some have decided that since Dean Henderson probably isn't "world-class" (or perfect), we might as well keep selecting DDG, who has been terrible for 4/5 seasons now
Surely in that scenario, even if you dont rate either that highly, you go with the lesser of the two evils?
Him doing well is good news for us. The best thing we could do is sell him for £30m while people actually still rate him. Let go of De Gea next year and use the money saved/received on a goalkeeper that will bring us into the 2020's.
He's still a better fit for how Utd should be playing than DDG.
People can keep bringing up Salah all they like as stick to beat him with. But it's not any worse than what we saw yesterday or this.
He was injured?! Christ alive.He's still a better fit for how Utd should be playing than DDG.

Average is what we need right now
It is for sure the way to go.
