Manchester United to bid for Dean Henderson replacement in coming days
Manchester United will bid for Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki soon as both first and second choices leave Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Manchester United expect a seismic change in their goalkeeping department this summer, with David de Gea leaving the club for free after 12 seasons.
With the club set to sign André Onana for a fee likely to be around the £55 million mark, Dean Henderson, who before Erik ten Hag joined was the club’s No. 2 goalkeeper, is looking increasingly likely to leave on a permanent transfer this summer.

With United’s first-choice keeper already out of the picture and the second choice likely to leave, the club will likely need to sign two new shot-stoppers this summer – and with a deal almost complete for Onana, the club are turning their attention to Zion Suzuki.
Suzuki currently plies his trade for Japanese first-division side Urawa Reds and the Japanese U12 squad, and it is said that United intend to submit a formal offer for the player in the “near future”.
This is according to Marco Molla, who further claims that it has “become clear” that the 20-year-old is positive about the transfer going through.
Previous reports have stated that Suzuki ‘on United’s radar’, with the signing being a concrete possibility should Henderson leave the club as well as De Gea.
Although United are due to start their pre-season tour against Leeds United on Wednesday afternoon, Henderson is not expected to be part of the squad.
