It’s a well-known fact that Manchester United is turning the page at the end of the season with yet another coach who will try to bring back the glory from sir Alex Ferguson’s days. This time it’s Erik Ten Hag from Ajax, who will officially take over the club on Monday 23rd of May but will come a bit earlier, just in time to be on the stands for the last game of the season, when the Red Devils travel to London to play Crystal Palace. He will therefore have a first chance to see his players live, but he already had a Zoom meeting with every one of them. And some players will leave the club for sure.🔴DEAN HENDERSON is reportedly on the verge of swapping Man United for Newcastle.[The Manchester Evening News]Would you prefer a Loan or Sell? 🤔#deanhenderson #henderson #newcastle #nufc #mufc #manutd #manunited #premierleague #oldtrafford pic.twitter.com/1ds3lz571o— The MU Stand (@mu_standtv) May 19, 2022 Apart from the players whose contracts are over (Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Edinson Cavani, Lee Grant) and some academy players (Ondrej Mastny, Reece Devine, Charlie Wellens, Connor Stanley, D’Mani Mellor and Mateo Mejia), some players are under contract but will be sold or loaned. A few weeks earlier, Nemanja Matic struck such a deal with the club and will be allowed to leave one year before the end of his contract. And not another name is set to leave Old Trafford as soon as the season is over – Dean Henderson.No holiday for Ten Hag: The Dutchman takes over United todayUnited’s goalie was heavily favoured over David de Hea, who was supposed to be sold at the beginning of the season, but it panned out the other way in the end – The Spaniard will stay and his colleague will move further up north – to Newcastle. Henderson has only played for Manchester three times this season (and not in the Premier League) as he contracted Covid-19 in his first week of pre-season training in July and was so out of shape due to illness that he was available for selection two months later – in September. By that time, De Hea was back at his best and remained between the posts for the rest of the season.CR7 is excited by Ten Hag’s arrival – even if his future at Old Trafford isn’t clearThe funny thing is – in January, United decided to send Henderson on loan, and of all clubs, Ajax was interested, and Newcastle too. But, for some reason, Eric Ten Hag was interested in Henderson for Ajax but will allow him to leave for Newcastle now that he became his coach. The Magpies will get a second chance to sign him since they failed to do so in January, mainly because their current No. 1 Martin Dubravka refused to be swapped since he knew he would be sitting on the bench at the Old Trafford.Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set to leave Manchester United this summer, according to Sky Sports 🗞 pic.twitter.com/7ot6B045rV— GOAL (@goal) May 19, 2022 According to the reports from the island, the negotiations are in the advanced stage and the Magpies will bring Henderson on loan since his value is currently 40 million pounds. It seems odd that Henderson decided to join Newcastle just to be the second-choice keeper (again), since Dubravka is currently undisputed number 1. Still, the Magpies want to have a healthy competition in every position. However, Newcastle journalists say that the deal is not as close as everyone believes.The man who went from Leeds United to Manchester United says Phillips won’t follow in his footstepsStill, it is expected that United’s number 2 will leave on loan to Newcastle of some other club. Apart from Henderson, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Axel Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams, Andreas Pereira, Donny van de Beek, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford all face uncertain futures and the majority of them will certainly leave the club, probably for a fee, since United needs to sell to buy everybody they want.
