A mixed response has been received from the Manchester United faithful following the announcement that Dean Henderson will likely start against Tottenham Hotspur this evening.
Because of David de Gea's outstanding play this season, Henderson has been unable to make a single appearance in the Premier League. However, following De Gea's illness, it is expected that the former Sheffield United loanee will be given his opportunity today.
In addition to Aaron Wan-Bissaka and other members of the coaching staff, the backup goalkeeper, who turns 25 today, arrived at the Lowry Hotel on Friday night. The rest of the United squad, on the other hand, did not arrive at the hotel.
According to sources close to the Manchester Evening News, Atletico Madrid's La Liga victory over Cadiz on Friday night may have played a role in the unexpected change in United's preparations for the match. Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 second leg on Tuesday.
Henderson's last appearance for the Manchester United first team was in the FA Cup against Middlesbrough. This season, he has only made three appearances for the first team.
