      Sommer by contrast has conceded just half of the goals De Gea has, thanks to his side winning 3-1 against Hoffenheim and drawing 2-2 against Schalke in their first two games of the season.
      He has been the number one at Borussia-Park since joining from Basel in 2014 and has made 326 appearances for the club.

      Henderson accused United of wasting a year of his career after he sat on the bench last season as De Gea reclaimed the No1 spot with a number of good performances when Henderson was unavailable at the beginning of the campaign.
