Some Manchester United fans have been left completely outraged by Dean Henderson’s positioning in the defeat to Liverpool, suggesting the flaw left the goal wide ‘open’ for Mohamed Salah to make it 4-2.

The late goal unfortunately wasn’t the only moment that made Henderson look less than convincing between the sticks, with the star spilling the ball straight to Roberto Firmino early in the second-half.

Salah’s strike in the 89th minute seems to have really pushed some United fans over the edge in regards to Henderson.

As the Egyptian broke free on the counter and bared down on goal, Henderson was much closer to the near post, leaving Salah with plenty of space to tuck the ball into the far bottom corner.

Some United fans believe that tonight’s display from the 24-year-old should lead to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer restoring David de Gea as the team’s No.1.

Here is how some of the United faithful reacted to Henderson’s goalkeeping for the fourth:

Henderson has been the starter for all but one of the side’s Premier League fixtures since De Gea took a break to head to his home of Spain for the birth of his first child.

The Spaniard has primarily been limited to Europa League action since his return, barring a league outing on Tuesday night against Leicester as Solskjaer fielded a heavily rotated side.

It did seem as though Henderson was building some momentum and respect as the first-choice until tonight, Solskjaer and the club now have a very difficult decision on their hands.
