# Manchester United: Fabrizio Romano drops Dean Henderson news

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) goalkeeper Dean Henderson is in talks with Nottingham Forest over a summer loan move, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Henderson out of favour

There was hope at one point that Henderson would replace David De Gea as United’s first-choice ‘keeper, with the latter struggling to hit top form back in 2020/21.

The Spaniard roared back last season, however, standing out as one of his side’s best players, limiting his teammate between the sticks to [just three starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/304008/Show/Dean-Henderson), in all competitions.

It now looks as though Henderson will move on this summer and a key update has emerged, in that respect.

### The Latest: Forest move close

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1537494662407237634?s=20&t=_0t3otws0H-cfCuKLWZb1g) on Thursday, Romano claimed that talks are ongoing and that a loan move could be completed in the near future:

> “Dean Henderson deal update. Talks in progress also today between Man United and Nottingham Forest, no agreement yet on buy option clause value so it could be removed.
>
> “Deal could be completed on simple loan. Work in progress.”

### The Verdict: Makes perfect sense

At 25, Henderson is now at a point in his career where he needs to be starting regular matches – he is too good a goalkeeper to be warming the substitutes’ bench every week.

That will be the case at United currently, so a summer exit makes perfect sense and Forest look absolutely ideal, following their promotion to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

Their current stopper, Brice Samba, looks likely to move on after [failing to agree a new deal](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/nottingham-forest-news/nottingham-forest-brice-samba-turns-down-new-contract-offer/), which would pave the way for Henderson to be their No.1 next season. A permanent move further down the line could then be ideal for all parties, should he impress at the City Ground.
