Brining Henderson in to to compete is shooting ourselves in the foot. If he comes in a replaces De Gea then, next summer De gea will be worth a lot less. Better to sell DDg and then promote hendo. And if we do bring back hendo and he sits on the bench for 1-2 years then we will be severely stunting his development.
Which club is going to match his 300k a week for effectively a dodgy keeper?
Henderson is hugely error prone. Good keeper one minute, calamitous the next.
Defo De Gea is nowhere close to the keeper he was, Henderson already one of the leagues best.
De Gea is still one of the best. Every keeper makes mistakes. When it's De Gea it gets highlighted more than others as the standards he himself set. I still don't think Henderson is ready just yet. Being the best English keeper doesn't mean much when there isn't much talent there at the moment.
It's only a dip in form. Still in that period he was better than many in the league. He has been our player of the season for the last so many years. Give him some more time to come back to form. People started slating him for losing a handful losses. But how many wins he has earned in the recent past. And all are judging Henderson by just one season. It will be a big mistake to replace DDG with him. I would rather make Romero number one if De Gea left end of this season.
DDG is still in the top 2 GK's within the Prem.

Real Madrid
At this risk of defending a Utd player - every goalkeeper, no matter how good, needs an understanding with their back four. DDG has been working with a new RB, a new CB and rotating CB and LB. It's not been settled.
As the season has gone on Utd have looked more settled and have stopped leaking goals.
Henderson has looked good but ultimately has half a season of EPL experience. I'd be amazed if he replaced DDG already.
Patience is the way to go here. Romero is possibly the best #2 in the Prem. Give henderson one more full season at SHFUD and see how David's form is next season. No reason to make any big decision right now.

Obviously Hendo's stats are promising. He will get better,
I think we will keep DDG one more season - also keep Henderson on loan for 1 more season.
Hendo seems like a die hard united fan. Sure if we give him a new contract and stick him only loan for another season or two he will wait.
He'll wait another season I think. One of the gripes people have with Henderson is that he is worse with the ball at his feet than De Gea.
