I have also said all along that Henderson was going to surpass DDG sooner than some thought. That said I do think that there will still be game time for Dave before the end of the season. The close season will be a better indicator of what the plan is going forward.I must of lost count the amount of times on here people laughed at me about Henderson replacing DDG
Yeah DDG will get the Europa games I reckon. But think the decision has already been made about him leaving. The Athletic saying we are gonna bring back Sam Johnstone to be No2 next season.
Agree he should he’s been excellent. Was a solid prospect coming through who has got better each year. Really struggled with concentration at youth level. But seems well over that. I would and would not be surprised if he came back for a few reasons.Absolute madness that Utd has backed themselves into this position with SO much tied up in 2 goalkeepers.
One badly needs to go. And it's not for performance-related reasons.
Johnstone should be in the English Euro squad. He's had, along with the Villa goalie, well arguably the best season of any 'keeper this year. He's established at Albion and just entering his prime years.
Why in the world would he want to sit on anyone's bench again?
Journo's need to think before they type.
I’m happy for Gollini and Savic both came with decent reps but both struggled setting in the country and being away from friends and families at the time. Rob Ziegler made no end of mistakes week in week out in the academy but I’m happy he’s carved out a good carrier!
I wouldn't say they have backed themselves into a corner with the GK situation it has been more a case of Henderson improving faster than expected whilst DDG has regressed. Come the end of the season it will all make sense personally I think De Gea will be gone not because Henderson is better but purely for the fact his contract is up next year so United will want to benefit financially (a decent fee and removal of his huge wages). As for Johnstone returning it's just like the talk about Donnaruma signing it's totally made up to sell papers. I can see either one of the 2nd string stepping up as back up or them signing someone who is older but willing to play second fiddle much like they have had in the past with the likes of Sealy, Carroll etcAbsolute madness that Utd has backed themselves into this position with SO much tied up in 2 goalkeepers.

It definitely won’t be any stepping up. There is no one near ready age wise. Potential wise yes but the ones that have it are at least 3/4 yrs off being ready.
