Newcastle offer Darlow to Man Utd during Henderson talks

Newcastle United are offering Karl Darlow to Manchester United for Dean Henderson.

The Sun says the Magpies want to sign Red Devils goalkeeper Henderson as their number one for next season in place of Martin Dubravka despite his impressive second-half of the campaign for Eddie Howe's side.

Henderson is only keen on a season-long loan move to St James' believing he will one day get the gloves at Old Trafford ahead of David de Gea.

Newcastle hope the offer of their current number two Darlow who played eight Premier League games this season, will help to push the deal over the line with new boss Erik ten Hag in need of another goalkeeper.

If Henderson went the other way and with Lee Grant announcing his retirement, Manchester United would have only Tom Heaton as back up to De Gea so would need another experienced goalkeeper and 31-year-old Darlow fits the bill. Grant has now left the club to join the backroom staff at Ipswich Town.
