Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has led the well wishes to Dean Henderson following his loan move to Nottingham Forest this week.
Henderson will spend the season at the newly promoted club after failing to establish himself ahead of David de Gea at Old Trafford in the last campaign. Speaking on his arrival at the City Ground, Henderson said: "I’m absolutely delighted to be joining such a fantastic club with an amazing set of fans and a wonderful history.
"I want to thank the manager [Steve Cooper] and owners at Nottingham Forest for the great opportunity to play for this club in their first season back in the Premier League. I’m really excited to work with everyone at the club from the manager, players and goalkeeper coach Danny Alcock.

"The conversations with the manager have been outstanding. When I spoke to him, he was great and made me feel loved and I can't wait to play under him."
As news broke of Henderson's (temporary) departure from the Theatre of Dreams, several United players sent their best to their teammate. Maguire commented: "Go smash it mate," while Bruno Fernandes added: "All the best bro," on his Instagram story.
United youngster Teden Mengi posted: "Delighted for you Deano, all the best." Due to still being a contracted player at United, Henderson will be ineligible to face his parent club when the two sides meet in the Premier League.
