Paul Scholes claims Dean Henderson has now 'taken over' as Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper after picking up another clean sheet against AC Milan... with ex-Red Devils star more 'relaxed' with the youngster in goal than with David de Gea

Paul Scholes believes Dean Henderson has now 'taken over' from David de Gea as Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper after a clean sheet at AC Milan.

The 24-year-old put in an assured performance at the San Siro to help the Red Devils reach the Europa League quarter-finals. Paul Pogba scored the only goal of the second-leg to put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side through with a 2-1 aggregate win.

Henderson was called into action a couple of times - making one vital stop from Milan substitute Zlatan Ibrahimovic late on - which has convinced Scholes that he is now Solskjaer's first-choice option in net.
