Forgotten Man Utd star drops major hint club has decided on De Gea replacement as he trains for first time in 12 months
DEAN HENDERSON has dropped a hint over his future with a post on social media.
The forgotten Manchester United star spent last season out on loan at Nottingham Forest.
Henderson, 26, proved to be a top Premier League stopper last season before an injury cut his season short.
With one year left on his contract at Old Trafford, he has returned to training with his parent club for the first time in 12 months.
And it appears it has been a positive start to the summer as he uploaded a snap of his dirtied goalkeeping gloves onto his Instagram story.
Alongside the picture was the caption: “What a way to start the week.”
And United fans are thinking that Henderson could be an option to replace outgoing veteran David De Gea.
One tweeted: “Rather play him all season than spend money on someone who isn’t ETHs number one target.”
A second wrote: “What if we keep Hendo and just dump all our p’s on a 9.”
A third wrote: “Big opportunity for the lad.”

While another said: “He knows he has the chance of his life to prove himself this week!”
Henderson is still wanted by Nottingham Forest on a permanent deal with a £20million move being mooted.
He was one of eight players to return to the club following the end of loan spells elsewhere.
Manager Erik ten Hag will now have to make the final decisions over their futures and if they remain at the club.
This list includes Amad Diallo, Eri Bailly, Alex Telles, Shola Shoretire, Charlie McNeill, Hannibal Mejbri and Alvaro Fernandez.
