De Gea warned Henderson has 'taken over' at Man Utd as Scholes welcomes goalkeeper change

Dean Henderson has “taken over” goalkeeping duty at Manchester United, says Paul Scholes, with David de Gea warned that he is going to have to make peace with filling a back-up role for the foreseeable future.

The long-serving Spaniard surrendered his starting berth at Old Trafford when taking a break to celebrate the birth of his first child.

The 30-year-old was absorbed back into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad for the second leg of a Europa League last-16 encounter with AC Milan, but was only named on the bench as England hopeful Henderson secured a sixth clean sheet in a seven-game run.
