According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Nottingham Forest are hoping to take Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson on loan again this summer.
Dean Henderson’s age?
The Englishman, now 26, spent last season on loan at the City Ground after failing to unseat David de Gea as United’s first-choice goalkeeper.
It was seen as a great opportunity for Henderson to prove his worth in the Premier League, and he did just that, impressing for Forest before his campaign ended up being cut short by injury. He started a total of 18 league games and did his bit to ensure that the Reds remained in the top flight in their first season back in the competition.
Now back at United, Henderson again finds himself down the pecking order. Although De Gea has moved on, Inter shot-stopper Andre Onana has come in as his successor. That means the Englishman could again be looking for a temporary move away from Old Trafford, with his current deal expiring in the summer of 2025.
With Forest looking to bring in a ‘keeper before the 2023/24 campaign gets underway, it looks increasingly as though they could be set for a reunion with their former player.
Could Dean Henderson join Nottingham Forest?
Romano reported on Twitter that Forest are aiming to bring Henderson back on a temporary basis while simultaneously completing the permanent signing of his United colleague, Anthony Elanga:
“Manchester United has received two bids from Nottingham Forest.” Dean Henderson has a loan idea, while Elanga has a permanent deal suggestion. Forest is eager to complete both transactions after closing in on Ola Aina’s free move.”
Henderson returning to Forest feels like an absolute no-brainer for all parties this summer, as it would allow the player to gain regular football and ensure the Reds have a top-quality option in their ranks once again.
This time, the hope is that a loan move could eventually be made permanent should the England international impress upon his return to the City Ground, which would allow him to fully settle in Nottingham, with his chances of ever being United’s No 1 looking highly unlikely.

At 26, Henderson remains fairly young, especially for a goalkeeper, and has long-term potential, having been hailed as “incredible” by former Tottenham manager Antonio Conte last season.
He’ll be trying to make a run for a spot in England’s Euro 2024 team, where he’ll have competition from the likes of Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, and Aaron Ramsdale.
That may be too much to ask given the Three Lions’ existing alternatives, but playing every week for Forest and making significant contributions will only assist him, rather than warming the bench at United.
Bringing in both Henderson and Elanga would be extremely wise business on the Reds’ part, immediately increasing squad depth and getting the services of two players who know how to perform for one of the world’s top teams.
