Man Utd clause speaks volumes about Henderson future after Forest transfer

Dean Henderson may still have a future at Manchester United despite leaving the club on loan for Nottingham Forest in the summer.

The goalkeeper left Old Trafford in search of regular minutes before the start of the 2022-23 campaign after failing to start a single Premier League match last season.

Nottingham Forest head coach Steve Cooper is currently "not an option" to fill the managerial vacancy on Brighton & Hove Albion..
