'It wouldn't be clever for me to sit around and not play football': Dean Henderson warns Manchester United he will LEAVE if he cannot oust David De Gea as No 1 after signing new £120,000-a-week deal

Dean Henderson has warned Manchester United that he will look to leave if it's clear he will be No 2 goalkeeper to David de Gea.

The England keeper has set his sights on De Gea's role as United's first choice this season after recently signing a new five-year deal worth £120,000 a week.

Henderson said: 'Look, 100 per cent, the aim is for me to play football next season.
