Dean Henderson to leave Manchester United in January?

Dean Henderson is reportedly hopeful of being granted a loan move away from Manchester United in the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old has found playing time limited since returning to Old Trafford in the summer following a successful two-year stint with Sheffield United.

Henderson has been restricted to just three appearances this term, each coming in cup competitions, with David de Gea still preferred in goal by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

According to 90min, Henderson has been informed by Gareth Southgate that he needs to be playing more regularly if he is to become first choice for England.

It is claimed that United are prepared to sanction a loan exit and the goalkeeper's representatives are on the lookout for interested clubs in the Premier League.

Aston Villa were eager to sign Henderson in the summer but instead turned to Emiliano Martinez.
