Manchester United star wanted by Ajax on loan

Ajax have their sights on landing Dean Henderson on loan during the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old has made just one appearance this term with David de Gea being the regular in goal.

Ahead of the New Year, Ajax are keen on signing him, but it is unclear whether United will sanction the move.

Henderson has cut a frustrated figure this season. He has not played a competitive game for 10 weeks.

With the World Cup next winter, he is reportedly desperate to play regularly to make the England national side.

Meanwhile, Ajax are braced for the departure of Andre Onana when his contract expires next summer.

The Dutch outfit are weighing up a replacement, and could propose an option to buy for Henderson.

Their decision may depend on the temporary stint. It remains to be seen whether United will loan him out.

They currently have Tom Heaton as the third-choice keeper. He has been an unused substitute in several games.
