Man Utd ‘weigh up Dean Henderson loan transfer’ in January which has delayed Sergio Romero exit decision

MANCHESTER UNITED could loan out Dean Henderson in January as they delay a decision on Sergio Romero’s future.

Argentina star Romero, 33, reportedly wants to leave after Henderson replaced him as second-choice keeper.

But United must decide how to maintain Henderson’s development as he bids to oust David de Gea after two seasons on loan for Sheffield United.

And ESPN claim Old Trafford chiefs will only consider letting Romero go once they have reached a verdict on whether to keep Henderson for the second half of the campaign.

Romero is thought to have concluded his time is up after boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer omitted him from United’s Premier League and Champions League squads.

Ex-Sampdoria star Romero has attracted interest from several clubs ahead of the next transfer window.

And despite five years in the shadows at Old Trafford, United still rate him at around £8-10million.

Romero is under contract until the end of the term and Solskjaer even has the option to extend it for another 12 months.

But the Norwegian has insisted Henderson, 23, will eventually become United’s No1.

Publicly, however, he has also claimed De Gea remains the world’s best stopper.

And even though United’s form has again spluttered this term, the Spaniard’s own form appears to have stabilized after two wobbly campaigns.
