# Aston Villa target Dean Henderson looking to leave United

Manchester United youngster Dean Henderson wants to leave the club this summer, according to the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/highly-rated-manchester-united-youngster-12279860?_ga=2.145496691.691997553.1522676930-2120095286.1522051470).

The report claims that the young goalkeeper wants to secure a permanent transfer in a bid to stake a claim for regular first-team football.

Henderson has been impressing out on loan with promotion-chasing Shrewsbury, prompting Aston Villa to take notice.

Arsenal have also been linked with the youngster, but they’re unlikely to be able to offer him first-team football.

The 21-year-old does not want a return to youth-team football next season after making the step up in the Football League.

There have been concerns over the future of Sam Johnstone, the on-loan Manchester United is unlikely to return to Villa Park beyond the end of the season.

United are likely to make a last-ditch offer to keep Henderson at the club this summer, leaving the youngster with a tough decision to make about his future.
