IT AIN’T THE HEND OF DE GEA

-

I LIKE Dean Henderson, but any chatter about him being ready to become the No.1 at Manchester

United and England is a bit premature.

David de Gea is still miles ahead as an all-round goalkeeper and, although the Spaniard is not as dominant as Alisson or Ederson, he is still top class.

Becoming England’s No.1 is a more likely propositio­n for Henderson (right) and I’m sure Gareth Southgate will look at him in friendlies sooner rather than later.

But really he needs another year on loan, maybe abroad or with a team in England with real expectatio­ns, before those conversati­ons get real.
