DEAN HENDERSON is set to join Nottingham Forest on loan after they agreed terms with Manchester United, according to reports.
The one-cap England stopper, 25, was stuck on the bench behind David de Gea at Old Trafford last season.
But with the World Cup on the horizon, United will seemingly allow Henderson to leave.
The Athletic claim United chiefs have agreed to the terms of newly-promoted Forest's loan offer.
The report states the City Ground side are willing to take on Henderson's full £100,000-a-week wages for the entire 2022-23 season.
Henderson had been on Newcastle's radar ahead of a potential summer swoop.
