Dean Henderson returns to pre-season training

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has joined pre-season training.

Henderson had been out recovering from a hip injury which he told Talksport left him unable to dive. He had said that last season left him feeling shattered.

This led to him pulling out of the England squad. But now Henderson has returned to United’s first team training.

Henderson was spotted with new signing Tom Heaton, while young goalkeepers Matej Kovar and Nathan Bishop were also present.

Bishop is set to join Mansfield Town on loan but is continuing with United for the first few weeks of pre-season. Henderson’s return may free him up to depart.

Henderson will now be pushing to establish himself as United’s number one. David de Gea will not return to training until next week at the earliest.
