I'm not really sure you can say that. Obviously Henderson isn't as good as De Gea was at his best, but neither is De Gea anymore. So if we forget his best and just focus on their performances this season, there's a decent argument to say that Henderson has been better. Take it back to last season and it's probably even a stronger argument considering just how bad De Gea was especially for the last couple of months, although obviously Henderson was only in the Championship at the time.
Replacing De Gea with Henderson would be risky as we have no idea how well he'd handle the step up. But the same could be said for just about any keeper who isn't already fully established at a top club. Personally I'm not sure if he's the right option long-term as there are question marks over his distribution, but I do think the timing is right that he should be given the opportunity for a season or two and see how he goes.
Seems hes happy to wait

Good, it makes most sense to go on loan again next season to Sheffield United if they're in Europe. Has an affinity with their fans but is clearly waiting for his place here (which will come).
I'd say it is fairly nailed on he'll go back to Sheffield United next season then if all goes well have the chance to be our #1 in 21/22.
Perfect situation. Let him have another season in a good team, then challenge De Gea next year.
Are we allowed to loan him back to Sheffield United again next year? I thought there was a limitation for a player to be loaned to a club for more than 2 years in a row?
No, that only applies to an individual loan deal. If he were to go out again to Sheffield United next season it would be a completely separate loan deal.
Loan deal finishes on 30th June
Question: Should we extend this with Sheffield Utd being rivals in the race for 4th?

FIFA/UEFA are looking at automatically extending everyone's deals until after the end of the postponed season. How they can do that, I do not know.
No.
I'd be amazed if they're in the top 6 next season personally.
Doesn't seem too bad with his feet.
He could start playing for the National team, and we would have seen then whether or not he is ready for Man Utd.
Don’t think it tells us much, Pickford has looked great for England but wouldn’t want him anywhere near United.
Hearing we're extending his contract with 100k/wk wages? Has to be staying if true.
Around that figure, apparently put us off due to us having to pay a large chunk of it for a loan.
There were rumours that we were willing to loan him to a European club
Just from The Sun, nowhere concrete reporting this yet.
@peridigm My bad now Sky on it as well, fantastic news.
100k a week???? I see this club has learned absolutely nothing about overpaying players then, jesus 100k a week for what he hasn't even done anything for United yet, i must have missed the part where he became one of the worlds best keepers the last couple seasons
He's better staying to challenge DDG, or this wage is as silly as it gets. Nobody would agree to pay him that wage to take him on loan. Us partially pay him wage on loan is just stupid.
The financial prudence of Woodward on the footballing side rears its ugly head
I wouldn’t be surprised if we sell De Gea.
100k a week for a keeper who won’t play unless De Gea is injured is maddness.

Who’s buying De Gea on his wages?
My bet is we loan Henderson to a European/EPL side who are willing to pay 100% of his 100k wage.
We won't sell DeGea this year. Seems the club is trying to find Henderson another club to go on loan (Villa?).
If they don't find a club, Romero will move on and Henderson will come in as 2nd keeper.
That s my impression
Who is gonna pay those wages?!
PSG
There are not many clubs outside the top sides that could pay £100k a week to a loan goalkeeper. It would not be a great idea to loan him to a top side as: (a) he may not get any playing time (b) if he does get a lot of playing time, it may turn his head away from us.
We will have to pay a lot of the wage if he is going to be loaned out. The question is, who is going to give time to a loan goalkeeper outside of Sheffield? It is a massive risk loaning a goalkeeper, especially on that wage.
Cannot understand this, 100k a week for an average Joe who's done nothing in the game
Maybe he can be loaned again to say Everton @SilentWitness ?
Would be a definite upgrade on Pickford but I'd rather Romero on a perm.
But he has done it with another good PL team.
Also this year is his last year contract with us. Maybe that has something to do with this "inflated" new wage. Just like Rashford and Martial who are on 200k & 250k/wk.

If it’s 100k a week to keep him just sell him.
No back up GK is worth those wages.

Yeah, its 100k for a breakthrough keeper who looks quality or lose him to Chelsea in the near future.
Suddenly pretending 100k a week is big money just shows how our fanbase are just waiting to be offended.
Happy with that. Want him mid to long term here and a fair chance at the starting spot
