Hoddle encourages Henderson to leave Man Utd

Former England coach Glenn Hoddle is convinced by the ability of Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Henderson missed out on England's run to the Euro 2020 final through injury and has since dropped down the pecking order in Gareth Southgate's side.

“We also have an abundance of talented goalkeepers, Dean Henderson isn't going to be playing regularly for Manchester United," Hoddle told Betfair. “I think that it is pretty evident that he is going to have to go on loan somewhere and play because it looks like David de Gea is going to be ahead of him.

“There's no outstanding candidate at the moment, Jordan Pickford has been in control of the number one shirt but I believe there's going to be a real challenge from the rest of the goalkeepers to try and take his place.

“Pickford is in control and it's down to him to be consistent and there's a lot going on at his club. I think the number one spot will go down to the wire."
