De Gea has 12 months to save Man United career as Henderson waits

David De Gea has been given 12 months to save his Manchester United career. For some, that may seem a generous period of time for a goalkeeper whose form has been in decline for the past two years, but sources have told ESPN that the summer of 2021 will be when the club addresses the thorny issue of whether to stick with the Spaniard or back the potential of Dean Henderson.

At 29, De Gea has time on his side to emerge from a slump in form that dates back to the 2018 World Cup with Spain and regain his status as the world's best keeper.
