Some bold comments by Henderson, wants to push De Gea out of the team and seems to be confident he can do so.

Music to my ears if I’m honest. We’ve not had many players these last few years who will fight tooth and nail for the shirt. I think this will be an interesting battle between the two, and it should be a win win for us. We either get de gea back to his best, or he’s replaced by a better keeper.

He has nothing to lose and we have everything to gain. If he performs well it might give DDG the kick up the arse he needs. I think this is DDG's last season anyway. If he plays well, then we can get a solid price for him and have a GK ready to take over who already knows the club and the players in front of him. At least this won't turn into a 'replacing Schmeichel' situation. Looking forward to seeing two top keepers battle it out at United.

It's a win-win scenario for the club.
We may see the best of De Gea that could attract interest from clubs next summer.
And if Henderson takes his opportunity, we will have another top keeper for the foreseeable future.

dont put to much pressure on the lad though, we have seen him make his own mistakes in net for SU, but what better to fight it against one of the best keepers of his generation,

dave is still a top keeper he has just dipped like most of the squad, but for him if he dips it normally costs a goal.

lets hope he can get back top his best he is still young himself in terms of keepers.

Anyone remember Massimo Taibi? I remember him for one glaring ****up alone. He probably made a couple of worldies too, but we don’t remember those.

I remember Taibi, those tracksuit bottoms didn't help him either.

Massimo ‘my studs stuck in the ground’ Taibi? Yes I remember him well 😂.

Taibi only made four appearances for us. He made a couple of good saves in his debut against Liverpool and got MotM despite him flapping at a cross allowing Hypia to score.

He obviously made the mistake in the game against Southampton for which everyone remembers him.

While he was also in goal for the 5-0 loss to Chelsea.

He conceded 11 goals in his four games for us. A downright awful signing for us.

Goalkeepers more than most, need to have an inner confidence. I don't know if he's quite ready yet, but everything I've seen or heard from him, makes me think he'll be alright.

All the stories I've heard about him make it seem that he is a very confident lad. He's had a couple of knock backs, he conceded a goal from a mistake against Leeds last year and one earlier this season, both times he fronted up took the criticism and bounced back stronger. I think he has an elite level mentality which will carry him far. He looks far more ready for it than DDG looked when he was thrust into the No.1 position with us.

The real question isn't about whether he is ready, but will he be given the chances.

I hope he doesn't suffer from the same over-confidence that England's last two first-choice goalies, Hart and Pickford, have had.

They may be confident within themselves but certainly don't instill it in their backline or in me :D.
