Crystal Palace are in the lead when it comes to the race for Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson. The Eagles lead Nottingham Forest, and look likely to land the English keeper.

Henderson is now expected to leave United this summer as he does not want to be second choice to Andre Onana. United are working on a deal for a replacement in the event Henderson leaves.

Odysseas Vlachodimos leads the list of targets for United at present.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Crystal Palace lead Nottingham Forest in the race for Dean Henderson at this stage.

Palace are looking to sign Henderson on a loan with obligation to buy. This is likely something United are open to. A straight loan is out of the question.

Henderson is keen to leave at this stage of his career and push on at another club. Andre Onana has the number one spot at United, and he is not letting it go.

Nottingham Forest have already signed Matt Turner, so are less intense in their pursuit of Henderson. They do have interest, but are unlikely to win the race over Palace.
