Dean Henderson has hit out at Manchester United for failed promises after claiming he turned down a number of loan moves last summer. The 25-year-old failed to make a single appearance in the Premier League for the Red Devils last term, despite being told he would battle it out for the number one spot at Old Trafford.
The former Sheffield United loanee was linked with a move to St. James' Park last summer and again in January with the Magpies keen to bolster their back line. However, Newcastle opted to sign Nick Pope this summer following Burnley's relegation from the Championship.
Henderson has hit out at his treatment in Manchester last season claiming he was "fuming" at missing out on 12 months of football. He told talkSPORT: "I turned so many good loans down last summer for that reason (being told he would be No 1), and they wouldn't let me go.

"It was frustrating. To sit there and waste 12 months is criminal really, at my age. I was fuming.
"I tried to join Forest all before [Erik Ten Hag joined] — I told the hierarchy I need to play football. I don't want to be here playing second fiddle. I was almost gone before the manager came in and I haven't spoke to him since.”
When asked whether he had spoken to Erik ten Hag before heading out on loan to the City Ground, Henderson said: "No. I didn't really want the manager to come in and be able to see me in training because I knew he'd probably want to keep me."
