Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson issues a statement denying 'hurtful' internet rumours that he is the Premier League star arrested for attacking his girlfriend

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has vehemently denied 'hurtful and totally false' claims that he was the Premier League star that was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend.

The 24-year-old took to social media on Monday to deny allegations made against him online, revealing that the distressing rumours have affected his family.

Reports at the weekend revealed that a Premier League footballer, described as being 'tipped for international honours', was arrested by police in 2019 on suspicion of domestic abuse.

Following the report, social media users began to guess who the player might be with some suggesting Henderson, who has forcefully shut down the rumours on Instagram.
