Henderson spent the previous season on loan at Forest and is expected to conclude a £20 million transfer to the City Ground, despite being back at Carrington for the start of preseason training.

Onana, who previously worked with Erik ten Hag during their time at Ajax Amsterdam, is set to be United’s second summer signing following the acquisition of midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea. He will fill the void left by De Gea’s departure from Old Trafford on a free transfer after 12 years at the club.
