Sources: Man Utd ready to let Henderson leave

Manchester United are prepared to let Dean Henderson move to Nottingham Forest once David De Gea has signed a new contract, sources have told ESPN.

De Gea’s deal at Old Trafford is set to expire on June 30 but talks over a new contract are at an advanced stage.

United expect the Spaniard to extend his stay and once it’s confirmed, they are prepared to let Henderson negotiate a move to Forest.

Henderson spent last season on loan at the City Ground and Forest made enquiries throughout the campaign about making the move permanent.

United’s agreement with Forest last summer was a straight loan and a full transfer will require further talks between the two clubs.

Henderson has a contract until 2025 with the option of another year and United will ask for a sizable fee before letting the 26-year-old England international leave.
