Fabrizio Romano reveals '2/3 names being considered' by Man Utd with Dean Henderson 'expected to leave'

Manchester United are in the market for a new second goalkeeper, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed.

Erik ten Hag has spent nearly £180million on new recruits this summer, adding Mason Mount from Chelsea for £60m and goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan for £47m. While 20-year-old striker Rasmus Hojliund was drafted in for a reported £72m.

But despite Onana's arrival, United are still in need of a new goalkeeper, with second-choice shot-stopper Tom Heaton sidelined through injury, and Dean Henderson strongly linked with a move away.

Henderson enjoyed a successful loan spell at the City Ground during the first half of last season, but saw his campaign curtailed early through injury.

It was widely expected the 26-year-old would return to Forest this summer, however, Crystal Palace have since arrived on the scene as they look to replace Vincente Guaita.

That's according to Romano, who claimed that Henderson's prospective departure will likely force the Red Devils into the transfer market, with up to three names "being considered".

The transfer guru tweeted on Sunday: "Manchester United are exploring the market for new second goalkeeper — with 2/3 names being considered.

"Dean Henderson, still expected to leave with Crystal Palace now interested to replace Guaita."

The Manchester Evening News claim that United are hoping to recoup around £30 million for Henderson, with Palace yet to launch a former offer.

He has expressed his desire to play regular first-team football - a feat which looks unlikely under Ten Hag, with Onana currently first choice between the sticks at Old Trafford.
