Manchester Evening News report that Henderson is still in talks with newly-promoted Sheffield United over a loan deal for Henderson, after the youngster helped Chris Wilder’s side reach the Premier League last season.
Henderson is a very highly-rated goalkeeper and still has a future at Old Trafford. First-team exprerience in the Premier League next season could prove invaluable for the 22-year-old.
As suggested by Samuel Luckhurst below, Henderson’s absence implies the Red are confident of David De Gea’s new contract.
The Sunday Mirror revealed that De Gea is ready to sign a new five-year contract to extend his eight-year stay at Old Trafford.
Dean Henderson’s absence possibly indicates #mufc’s confidence in De Gea signing a new contract. Henderson was on standby to go on tour but now on holiday. Joel Pereira steps up after not appearing to be involved in first-team training this week (Kovar was training on Friday).
