Dean Henderson has secured a five-year contract, binding him to Selhurst Park until 2028, following his departure from Manchester United to join Crystal Palace on a permanent basis.

The goalkeeper’s move marks the end of a substantial 12-year association with the Red Devils, during which he made only 29 appearances for the first team.

During the latter part of the 2020–2021 season, Henderson was granted an opportunity to challenge David de Gea for the starting goalkeeper position but found himself once again on the bench for the following season.

Following a loan spell at Nottingham Forest for the 2022–2023 season, Henderson indicated that his time at Manchester United had come to a close. He joined Crystal Palace at the start of this season as the backup to Andre Onana.

Reports suggest that Crystal Palace has paid £20 million for the 26-year-old goalkeeper. Although Nottingham Forest had expressed interest in re-signing Henderson, the deal did not materialize.

Crystal Palace had been actively seeking a new goalkeeper, as their veteran shot-stopper, Vicente Guaita, sought a transfer.

Henderson will now compete with Sam Johnstone, another England international, for the starting goalkeeper position.

Upon his arrival in south London, Henderson expressed his enthusiasm, stating to CPFC.co.uk: “I’m absolutely delighted and buzzing to be here. I can’t wait to get started. This club has got great fans and has a lot of top players who are hungry to succeed. There’s something being built here, and I really want to be a part of it.”

Now calling at: Crystal Palace 🚉

Welcome, @deanhenderson ❤️💙

Reports indicate that Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is set to undergo a medical at Crystal Palace ahead of a £20 million move. Henderson, who spent the previous season on loan at Nottingham Forest, has struggled to secure the starting goalkeeper position at Manchester United, with David de Gea as the preferred choice.

During his loan spell at Nottingham Forest, Henderson made 18 Premier League appearances but eventually lost his starting spot to Keylor Navas, who joined the team in January. Nottingham Forest opted to sign Matt Turner as their new starting goalkeeper, bypassing the opportunity to bring in Henderson or Navas on a permanent basis.

Henderson’s situation at Manchester United changed when the club parted ways with David de Gea during the summer transfer window and brought in Andre Onana from Inter Milan. With Onana as the new first-choice goalkeeper, Henderson was reportedly in discussions with Manchester United last week regarding a move to Crystal Palace.

The move to Crystal Palace would provide Henderson with the opportunity to secure regular first-team football. Reports suggest that Palace has assured Henderson that he will eventually replace Vicente Guaita as the team’s starting goalkeeper, although he will face competition from the talented Sam Johnstone.

Dean Henderson signed a long-term contract with Manchester United in 2020 after a successful loan spell at Sheffield United, briefly displacing De Gea as the starting goalkeeper. However, he made only 13 Premier League appearances for Manchester United before David De Gea regained his place as the first-choice goalkeeper under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas has reportedly agreed to join Nottingham Forest, and Forest are currently negotiating a deal with PSG.

The Costa Rican shot-stopper has reportedly accepted Forest’s offer after much deliberation, according to the French publication L’Equipe.

The 36-year-old is clearly close to leaving the French city, but an agreement has not yet been reached because both teams are still negotiating a final fee and the specifics of a deal.

Following Dean Henderson’s recent thigh injury, Forest is in need of a new goalkeeper, and because the Englishman is only on loan from Manchester United, Navas‘ planned arrival might address both issues.

Navas, who has 18 months left on his contract after moving from Real Madrid to Paris Saint-Germain in 2019, has played in 108 games across all competitions while recording 50 shutouts.

Even though Navas has been a regular in the Parisians’ lineup for the duration of those four years and is now well into his 30s, losing the Costa Rican international wouldn’t be catastrophic given that the Ligue 1 giants also have Gianluigi Donnarumma at their disposal.

Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst scored his first goal for the team with a poacher’s finish in the waning seconds of the first half of the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal against Nottingham Forest.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo left in November, Weghorst, who was signed on loan from Burnley, has been filling in for Anthony Martial, who has been injured.

However, despite the general promise of his performances thus far—his mobility gave Bruno Fernandes the room to score against Crystal Palace—the towering Dutchman was still without a goal himself before kickoff at the City Ground.

Rashford had played in Antony, for whom the ball sat up invitingly to strike. The Brazilian’s volley was poorly parried by Forest goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, standing in for the ineligible Dean Henderson on loan from United, and it bounced right into Weghorst’s path.

It was still not an easy finish. The former Wolfsburg striker had to be quick to get there first and didn’t have time to reposition his body for a conventional finish. Instead, he slashed the ball with the outside of his right foot and managed to deflect it goalward.
