Goalkeeper Dean Henderson has become Nottingham Forest’s second signing of the summer transfer window.
The Reds have confirmed the arrival of the 25-year-old on a season-long loan from Manchester United. The deal does not include an option to buy the player. He follows forward Taiwo Awoniyi in putting pen to paper for Steve Cooper’s side.
Henderson will link up with his new teammates as they prepare to travel to Spain for a training camp as part of their build-up to the Premier League campaign. He could get his first run-out when Forest face Coventry City in their opening friendly next Friday.

The England international will bring experience of the top-flight as Forest look to hold their own next term. Thirteen of his 29 appearances for his parent club have come in the league, while he secured promotion to the top tier on loan at Sheffield United and returned for a second spell at Bramall Lane following their step up.
Henderson has also represented United in Europe. Last season, he featured against Young Boys in the Champions League as one of his three matches played.
As well as the Blades, he has previously had loans at Shrewsbury Town, Grimsby Town and Stockport County And he made his debut for England two years ago, in a 3-0 friendly win over Republic of Ireland.
His arrival paves the way for the departure of Brice Samba, who is closing on a move to Lens. Henderson will take over as first-choice between the posts as Forest return to the Premier League after a 23-year absence.
