Man Utd boost with Dean Henderson set for bidding war as Premier League rival enter transfer race


CRYSTAL PALACE are making a shock move for Manchester United keeper Dean Henderson.

Eagles have been told that the Old Trafford No 2 is available on a loan-to-buy basis and he is high on their list as Vicente Guaita looks set to leave Selhurst Park.

Palace would take Henderson if the deal is right — and they have a chance as Nottingham Forest back away from targeting the stopper who had last season’s loan at the City Ground cut short by injury.

United wanted cash or a guarantee that Henderson, 26, would move to Forest permanently if he played enough games this season. But that became a hard deal to broker.

Palace will also find it tough to sign Henderson but are trying to find a solution and have two loan spaces free.

Roy Hodgson’s men are also looking at Southampton’s Alex McCarthy and have asked about Daniel Iversen at Leicester.

Henderson and current Palace No 1 Sam Johnstone are close pals and would be battling for the first-team jersey.

Dane Iversen has been the subject of a Palace inquiry — along with Foxes striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

SunSport revealed earlier this month that Man Utd expected a transfer to Nottingham Forest to go through.

However, both the Red Devils and Steve Cooper’s men were concerned that undergoing a premature medical could see the goalkeeper aggravate his injury.

Nottingham Forest have also added Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner to the squad.

Forest are currently above Man Utd in the table after beating Sheffield United 2-1, while Erik ten Hag’s side suffered an abject 2-0 loss at Tottenham.
