„Manchester United“ goalkeeper Dean Henderson expressed dissatisfaction in an interview with „TalkSport“ with the little playing time he received last season, calling the past 12 months „the hardest of his career“. The Englishman fell ill with COVID-19 before the start of last season and upon his return could not challenge the excellent form shown by David de Gea. „To be honest, it was probably the toughest 12 months of my career“, Henderson said on Tuesday to „TalkSport“. „The conversation I had before the start of the season was: „You will be the first team goalkeeper next season“. „I got COVID-19, and when I returned, nobody even bothered to keep the promises made to me. It was upsetting, because last summer I turned down many good opportunities to play elsewhere on loan. Unfortunately, „United“ did not let me go.“ „To sit on the bench for 12 months is truly a crime at my age. I was angry. I told the management that I have to play football and they have to let me go, so everything was decided before the new coach Erik ten Hag arrived. I never even spoke to him once.“ Next season, Dean Henderson will represent „Nottingham Forest“ on loan basis.
