Man United Goalkeeper Dean Henderson Signs New Long-Term Contract

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has signed a new six-year contract with the club – and will go head-to-head with David de Gea next season for the number one jersey at Old Trafford.

The deal, confirmed on Wednesday, will see the 23-year old earning up to £120,000 a week – making him one of the best paid goalkeepers in world football.

The young England stopper is not expected to go out on loan for another spell away from Old Trafford, but will be allowed to fight for the keepers’ spot with his Spanish teammate.

Henderson spent the past two campaigns on loan at Sheffield United, helping the Blades to promotion to the Premier League in 2019, before an impressive debut top-flight campaign last season.

Calls for Henderson, who only signed his previous deal last summer, to challenge De Gea have grown after the Spaniard received criticism for a number of errors during the 2019-20 season.
