Manchester United ‘fear Dean Henderson could FAIL medical and re-injure himself’ if

Manchester United are ‘reluctant to let Dean Henderson join Nottingham Forest, over fears he could re-injure himself during a rigorous medical’. 

Henderson, who was on loan at Steve Cooper’s side last season when he tore his thigh muscle, is still yet to recover from the setback. 

Forest want to secure him on a permanent deal from United, but the Old Trafford club are worried a strenuous medical could see the deal collapse if he aggravates the injury and fails the tests, according to the Sun.  

The injury was so severe that Henderson had to go under the knife in May and is on the comeback trail now, able to take part in light training. 

He was one of the key performers for Forest before his thigh issue and both clubs are willing to wait until he is in better shape for the medical.

Steve Cooper’s side might have to wait until he is in better condition before the move

This could be in the final stages of the transfer window when Forest are better able to put him through his paces. 

Matt Turner of Arsenal is closing in on a £7million move to Cooper’s side and is understood to have completed his medical. 

And there is also interest in former Leicester City man Kasper Schmeichel. 

Schmeichel struggled to adapt to life in France – with some of his team-mates are growing frustrated by the fact he preferred solitary work to being part of their team training sessions.

Nevertheless, Schmeichel made 46 appearances in all competitions during the 2022-2023 campaign and managed to keep a total of 13 clean sheets for the Ligue 1 side.

Schmeichel has also been linked with a move to FC Copenhagen in Denmark, but Forest’s interest in him could see that deal fall through the cracks.
