If reports are to be believed, Dean Henderson will push to leave Manchester United unless he’s promised more game time next season.

We’re taking a look at their records in all competitions in 2020-21, due to the vast majority of Dean Henderson’s opportunities coming in the cups. Here’s how the numbers compare.

Dean Henderson

Starts: 13
Appearances: 14

"There's not even a decision to make."
