And with the pressure mounting on De Gea after some high-profile blunders, a number of Red Devils reckon Henderson will soon find himself between the sticks.
De Gea has started both of United’s Premier League games this season, a 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace and a 3-2 win away at Brighton.
Meanwhile, Henderson was put in goal for the 3-0 Carabao Cup win against Luton Town.
But he could soon find himself marshalling United’s backline in the league if he puts in a strong showing against Brighton in the fourth round Carabao tie tomorrow.
Henderson has made no secret of his desire to be United’s go-to goalie.
He said earlier this month: “It wouldn’t be clever for me to sit around and not play football, I don’t think it would help any parties at all.
“You can get many things from training, and obviously learn off someone like David himself and the other goalies and coaches, but I don’t think there’s any substitution for game time.”
But Henderson still signed a new six-year contract in late August to reaffirm his commitment to the club.
He explained at the time: “The goalkeeping department at United is excellent. I look forward to working with the group.
“The faith the manager and the club have shown in me with this contract means a lot and I will continue to my progression as a goalie.
“I’ll be giving everything to improve every day so that I can play as many games as possible for this great club.”
