Manchester United have sold Academy graduate Dean Henderson to Premier League side Crystal Palace.
The 26-year-old progressed through the famed Academy system at Old Trafford and went on to play 29 matches for the club in all competitions after making his debut. However, a new challenge awaits for the England stopper, who spent last season on loan in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest.
Henderson could be thrust straight into the Palace squad for his debut on Sunday afternoon when Wolves make the trip to Selhurst Park. Speaking to the Palace website about that transfer, Henderson said: "I'm absolutely delighted and buzzing to be here." He continued: "I cant wait to get started. This club has got great fans, and a lot of top players, who are hungry to succeed. There's something being built here, and I really want to be a part of it."Although the transfer fee remains undisclosed, Manchester Evening News understands the two clubs reached an agreement on a fee rising to £20m. Henderson will subsequently be replaced in the United squad by the incoming Altay Bayindir, due to arrive in a £4.
