With the Spaniard preventing Henderson from taking his spot, the youngster has had limited opportunities so far.

The lack of regular game time has also impacted his chances of taking the number one spot for England. Gareth Southgate has informed Henderson that he needs to move in order to make him his top choice in goal. (h/t The Express)

It was reported earlier that the player could move to Celtic on loan in order to get regular game time. Solskjaer has however poured cold water on these reports.

“Dean wants to stay at Man United and play for Man United.”

Solskjaer also dismissed the notion that Tuesday’s match against Istanbul Basaksehir is a make or break game for Henderson. He advocated the need to impress and revealed that as long as a player performs, they will not be short of opportunities.

“I don’t buy that argument that it’s a make-or-break for him.”

The fact that an error-prone Jordan Pickford was picked to face Belgium showcases Henderson needs to do more to cement himself as the starting goalkeeper for England.

Whether he can manage to do that staying at United remains to be seen.
