Manchester United will hold talks with Dean Henderson before making a decision on his future, it is said.
The Manchester Evening News report that United boss Erik ten Hag will ask Henderson if he wants to stay at Old Trafford or leave this summer, with Nottingham Forest interested in signing him on a permanent deal after a successful loan at the City Ground last season.
However, even if Henderson expresses a desire to leave, Ten Hag is “unlikely” to sanction his sale until the goalkeeper situation at Old Trafford is resolved.

And that means Forest could end up playing a long waiting game because United currently do not have a No 1 goalkeeper, with David de Gea’s contract having expired with no agreement in place for a new deal and talk of Ten Hag targeting Inter Milan’s Andre Onana in a £40m move to be his new first choice goalkeeper.
In a further update, Henderson is said to still be recovering from the thigh injury he suffered in January during his loan at Forest, and so won’t feature in United’s first pre-season friendly, against Leeds, next week. It is understood he also faces a race to be fit for the club's pre-season tour of the United States, which begins on July 20.
