MANCHESTER UNITED APPEAR TO HAVE MADE A CLEAR DECISION REGARDING THE CLUB'S GOAL KEEPING SITTUATION

" You know he (De Gea) did call me this summer about ending his summer holiday early to come back and start his preseason early. Because he wanted to be ready, he wanted to be the best possible version of himself. Of course, last season was a challenging one for David (de Gea) as he didn't play as many games as he normally does but that was because Dean (Henderson) came in and did really well.  

"So, I'm fortunate that I have those options, now Tom (Heaton) has come in as well. But David (de Gea) has been so focused, physically he's better. Mentally he's better. And I think when you feel like you've done the work, you get personal bests on quite a few physical tests. I think that gives you confidence and gives you more motivation and inspiration. " 

  

(Ole Gunnar Solskjaer speaking to live reporters. September 21,2021)  

' 

 

 

 

 

 

That was Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer once again addressing the conversation over the goalkeeping situation at Manchester United and addressing the constant narratives which seem to be injected in and around the Manchester United football club. A narrative that continues to suggest that Manchester United’s current number two goalkeeper Dean Henderson has done enough to dislodge David de Gea out of the number one goalkeeping position at Manchester United.  

 

 

From a logical standpoint, a city in the fact that Manchester United is a football club from England, the idea of seeing a lot of support surging in the direction of Dean Henderson as the number one goalkeeper at Manchester United will make a lot of sense to anyone. The England international has grown a lot of home-built support over the past years after he made a good reputation for himself during his loan spell at Southampton for the vast majority of last year.  

 

 

 

Given the clear fact that Dean Henderson is an England international which has proven to be the overriding factor that seems to motivate aspects of biased decision making across the English media and in the football fan base, game of football the constant demand to see Dean Henderson become number one goalkeeper at Manchester United will come as no surprise to the majority of football fans worldwide. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

While Dean Henderson remains a very capable goalkeeper who has shown impressive abilities which will propel him to become the number one goalkeeper in the future either at Manchester United or at another top club in England or in Europe. However, the fact still remains that at this stage of his career, the 24-year-old English goalkeeper is yet to show enough evidence that justifies him being placed ahead of a top-class goalkeeper such as David de Gea who‘s resume continues to highlight why he is Manchester United's number one with the history of performances he has delivered for the club time and time again over the past decade and more. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a result of his pedigree and the impressive history which he has accumulated for himself at Manchester United football club, David de Gea has now solidified his place as Manchester United’s number one goalkeeper for the next foreseeable future. Reading between the lines of the message coming from Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the prospect of David de Gea retaining his position as the top-ranked goalkeeper at Manchester United FC is not likely to change any time soon.  

 

 

Furthermore, considering David de Gea’s recent performances and his ability as a goalkeeper, the current status is given to the Spanish shot-stopper as the number one goalkeeper for Manchester United is this palace which David de Gea has rightfully earned through years of hard work and through an impressive history of delivering master class performances for impressive periods over the past decade for the Red Devils.  

 

 

Despite this being the case, proven clear statistics Generated over the past ten years as evidence to back Manchester United's choice of appointing David de Gea as number one goalkeeper has not stopped English sports outlets from continuing to promote the conversation of Dean Henderson possibly staking a claim for the number one goalkeeping spot at Manchester United. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brad Friedel, David Seaman. These are some of the more prominent names in English football who have really had their say in the issue regarding the goalkeeping position at Manchester United. Now unless nobody's aware of this but for a couple of months now- probably even a year or two now- The conversation around Manchester United has been that the club has two outstanding goalkeepers. 

 

 

However, the perceived objective coming from various football pundits and a few Manchester United fans at the moment appears to be to promote the narrative that David de Gea at the age of 30 has reached his limit in terms of Improvements as a goalkeeper. Therefore, with David de Gea now at the age of 30, the perceived notion coming from the English media and a portion of the Manchester United fan base appears to be that David de Gea should relinquish his rights to the number one goalkeeping spot at Manchester United to the younger goalkeeper Dean Henderson. 

 

 

`The reason for this being that with Dean Henderson now just entering the very early stage of his goalkeeping career at the tender age of 24 years old, wish shot-stopper would have yeah higher and larger development rate to pass through we true spike he’s improvement and quality as a goalkeeper. as a result of this perceived notion, a good portion of the English media and a good portion of the Manchester United fan base continue to push the narrative that encourages Manchester United to promote Dean Henderson as the number one goalkeeper ahead of David de Gea. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frankly, from what the Manchester United channel has observed, any goalkeeper entering the age of 30 certainly does not automatically display signs of diminishing qualities while in action between the goalpost. As has been observed over the past few years, there has been and continues to be a substantial number of goalkeepers who continued to perform at a remarkably high level even as the goalkeeper ages with time. 

 

 

 

John Luigi Buffon, Julio Caesar, Shay Given, are just some of the list of goalkeepers who have gone on to play terrific football well into their thirties during their longstanding goalkeeping careers. While playing until their late 30s, these Goal Keepers are the perfect example of proof that a goalkeeper’s age does not determine the level of quality the goalkeeper brings to the table.  

 

Nevertheless, facts must not be confused amid unspoken narratives and the fact is that Dean Henderson is a quality goalkeeper who, even at the young age of 20, has earned the right to be given respectable minutes as the goalkeeper in the starting lineup for Manchester United. But once again, this all comes down to a solid rotation policy and good decision-making.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now clarified that David de Gea holds the well-earned status as the number one goalkeeper for Manchester United. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must now make the decision of assigning which matches second goalkeeper Dean Henderson will play in as the young English goalkeeper has shown that he does deserve the right to good minutes as the starting goalkeeper for Manchester United which any goalkeeper or player should receive in a healthy rotation system. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UEFA Champions League games and Premier League games. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer certainly still has a list of options in regards to match minutes left to assign Dean Henderson with a healthy chunk of matches still left to be played this season.  With David de Gea now established as the number one goalkeeper for Manchester United, Dean Henderson must now be reassured of playing a good portion of important games this season for the Red Devils  

 

 

After Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer himself assured people a couple of months ago during the current season that there will be substantial minutes available for Dean Henderson and other Manchester United goalkeepers to contribute to any level of success Manchester United can obtain in the current season, all eyes will continue to be on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to see how much of an improvement his rotation policy has gotten as the season rolls on.  

 

 

 

 

The fact is that at the moment, the Norwegian manager is not exactly doing an impressive job convincing people that he will implement a steady rotation policy into the current Manchester United squad. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, in the world of modern journalism facts and information are the only reliable sources writers and analysts can rely on., At the moment, the information coming out of Manchester United and the information received here at Manchester United channel delivers the clear message which states that David de Gea is and will continue to be the number one goalkeeper for Manchester United until further notice.
