I think he's a pretty bang average Prem keeper in every department essentially. But that's overall a better keeper than de Gea.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
So fkn over rated. He shouts at corners and rushes out to jump for the ball and suddenly most think thats all you need to be a good goalkeeper.
If you want a true upgrade on De Gea, either get a proper upgrade or dont. Henderson is an inbetween option.

It is but when the club is happy to let him leave before the manager even sees him your going to question his attitude and mentality. Especially after last season and that interview a few weeks back. I can totally get wanting a better keeper than de gea, i dont get wanting this guy. I kind of hope this thread isn't getting a bump every time he doesn't feck up against a team of evertons quality.
And why is that relevant to what I posted?
Read your original post again.
Keeper's job is defending his goal. No shit, Sherlock Michael Owen.
No, I remember the good form that took place during that period as I said. We don’t concede too many goals when he plays for us and that is reflected in the data.
not fecking up is quality DDG doesn't have. it's a pretty good start for keepers
He had a hell of a game vs Everton. Gotta admit that. He's aggressive and plays cocky which I also like in a keeper. He kicks a straight ball too. Honestly it makes me angry seeing how good a fit he would have been vs DDG then considering that he went out of his way to not let ETH see his workouts. Infuriating.
Also him talking shit about the team bothers me too. And he's got one of the most punchable faces in the game. So not going to complain if he's our keeper next year provided he plays well but I'm hoping they bring in someone young and better than him by that point. Because I'm gonna carry this chip on my shoulder a while with this player.

I definitely will. Hes not good enough and his attitude stinks
Who cares about Henderson anyway,? He vocally and publicly stuck the knife into our club while still a United player, for no other reason than De Gea's form last season kept him out of the team. feck him. He must never play for us again.
Bit shocking that
It makes sense, though. He’s at a newly promoted football side so he’ll constantly face danger. He’s had the most shots saved, most balls claimed etc. because he’s constantly in action.
This loan is perfect because Henderson is actually a good PL level ‘keeper so we should be able to fetch a very good fee next season, even in spite of his rather large wage.

Guessing its the penalty save that made the difference, otherwise Sanchez has been better.
In our club or in employees of this club?
That ‘fail’ vid is just a normal keeper vid, I don’t get it?
In theory, United could get a new keeper like Sanchez or Meslier next season without costing them anything. They just need to sell Henderson for 25-30m and get rid of De Gea's wages which are 20m/year.
He might only be on loan to Forrest, but I don't want him back, He was kept out of the team last season because DDG had a good season and for me his outburst was not warranted.
Hardly surprising to see him well ranked. Two man of the match awards in three games after one year without playing, it's obvious there's a good player there.
Henderson has been his own worst enemy; and his aching desire to play for United, has been his downfall. He allowed himself to be persuaded by Ole that he would get a fair crack at the no. 1 spot, but covid intervened and afterwards De Gea kept his place. The player should have spent last season out on loan, but instead was left clicking his heels on the bench. Since then United's stance has amazed me. In letting him go on loan to Forest, the management talked about him gaining experience as if he were a promising 18-year-old. De Gea, for me, is a good shot stopper, but limited otherwise, and yet is preferred to Henderson, who is one of England's better keepers, having gained one international cap; and yet united are scrambling around to find a decent deputy for De Gea. Once again, there doesn't appear to be any joined-up thinking here.
Should have kept Henderson and sold De Gea. Am I to understand that because he criticised the club management, Henderson is deemed by many United fans as surplus to requirements.
De gea has a great instinctive reflexes, he makes huge mistakes every game, but at the same time he makes some great save
Then the people forget the mistakes and remember only the good things
In this way he won, incredibly, the player of the year for many years
Now after 10 yrs many people, fortunately, are considering his status…

I should imagine there are plenty of us who have gobbed off about something which we later wish we had held back. I think he is a better goalie than De Gea in the style EtH wants so he should be welcomed back - also saving us a transfer fee.
Forest has some twitter game. 
Your original reply made me laugh but not nearly as much as the fact that it went completely over his head and you've had to spell it out to him.
It's a tough job
Ten Hag just clearly didn’t want to keep a player that didn’t want to be here.
If Henderson was a bit more open minded then he would have been starting our games for us.

no he wouldn't - it was made very clear who the first choice was almost before ETH arrived because of DDG's form last season
For a supposed great penalties keeper, he also did not save a single one in our loss in the Carabao.
And if people claim that's just pressure, well De Gea is being slated for cracking under it a few times a year, so why go for another keeper like that?
penalties is the best you can come up with? I mean if that's the bench mark, tell me how many DDG saved in the Europa final. for that matter tell me how many he even went the right way for... there is rather a lot more to goalkeeping than penalties
Penalties are a lottery, but I'm sure it didn't help that he hadn't played a match in two months, and had only played one match in over four months. Looking over his career he's normally good at saving penalties so it's a strange thing to criticise him for.
He was well out of position for a few of the goals/chances.
Typical deano really. A bit too rash and not exactly great distribution of the ball.
Decent keeper but not the level to be no 1 for us…yet.
and DDG is?
Just Deano fans and DDG fans playing the monopoly
So presumably you're quite happy with De Gea. That's good news for the rest of us.
It’s a really weird argument that shouldn’t exist because one side is saying Dean Henderson isn’t good enough but then also begrudgingly accept he’s probably better than DDG these days and the other side are saying he’s better than DDG but not the long term answer…
I hate it when he comes out, then suddenly stops halfway and change his mind, like at the end there. He did it with us two years ago but that was his first real shot at a big club. Can't believe he's still doing it.
