In a press conference to preview Saturday’s Premier League opener against Crystal Palace, the manager remained coy about who will start at Old Trafford, but heaped praise on his stoppers and explained how both men have been driving each other on at the Aon Training Complex.
Solskjaer was impressed by De Gea’s recent performances with Spain and appreciated comments made by head coach Luis Enrique, who asked the Spanish press to celebrate David’s quality.
The boss is also pleased by Henderson’s displays in training following his return from a two-year loan spell at Sheffield United. And when asked which goalkeeper will start against Palace, the manager remained tight-lipped, choosing instead to praise the duo and reveal why Sergio Romero is unavailable.
