Man Utd demand £40m for back-up option; Lukaku available

Man Utd are demanding £40m for a back-up player, while Chelsea are ready to let Romelu Lukaku leave this summer…

 

HENDO ON THE MOVE?
Man Utd have put a hefty price tag on unsettled goalkeeper Dean Henderson ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports.

The 25-year-old impressed during a two-year loan spell at Sheffield United, helping them to the Premier League before they secured a ninth-placed finish in their first season. That propelled him into the mind of former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who gave him a chance at Man Utd last season. Henderson headed into this season slightly ahead of David de Gea in the pecking order but the Spaniard has regained his number one spot this term.

Henderson has made just three appearances in all competitions this season after his 12 Premier League starts last term. And the goalkeeper is now getting itchy feet over his lack of playing time. The Daily Star insist that Man Utd will demand £40m in the summer if any club wants to buy Henderson.

It is understood that Newcastle United attempted to buy Henderson in the winter window but they had ‘all approaches rejected’. Henderson will become ‘the most expensive British keeper in history’ if the Magpies decide to pay the asking price with the Geordies making it clear to Man Utd that they intend to come back in for him this summer.

The Daily Star adds that Henderson is ‘desperate to find himself a new club’ as he has hopes of being included in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the World Cup at the end of the year.

SHORT AND NOT AT ALL SWEET
Chelsea are willing to let Romelu Lukaku leave after just one season back at Stamford Bridge, according to reports.

The Belgium international was signed for £97.5m in the summer transfer window after he contributed 24 goals and 11 assists in 36 Serie A appearances last term for Inter Milan. However, his form for the Blues this term has been far from ideal with ten goals in 33 matches in all competitions.
