‘De Gea is No.1 but Henderson should be brought back’ – Yorke wants keeper competition at Manchester United

The former Red Devils striker is not about to bump the proven Spaniard down the pecking order, but feels there’s a role for the promising shot-stopper

David de Gea remains a “great goalkeeper” for Manchester United, says Dwight Yorke, but he urged the Red Devils to bring Dean Henderson back as they start to plan for the future.

The current No.1 at Old Trafford is set to play a prominent part in that project, with United having worked hard to tie De Gea down on a long-term contract. At just 29 years of age, he still has many seasons ahead of him.
