Mourinho declares Henderson ready to be Man Utd No1

Roma coach, Jose Mourinho, has confirmed that Dean Henderson would be ready to be Manchester United’s outright No1.

Henderson and David de Gea are still battling to be United’s long-term first-choice.

Former United manager Mourinho told The Times: “I think they are good goalkeepers. I don’t think they are phenomenal goalkeepers or, in Dean Henderson’s case, not yet phenomenal.

“When I say not yet, I say he will be. I met him at [Manchester] United when he was a kid and I always remember him asking me to go on loan. He was saying when I come back, I come back to be the No 1.

“He told me that when he was the fourth choice. He is a kid with an incredible self confidence and I think he is ready.”
