Manchester United have placed a £40m price tag on the head of their in-demand goalkeeper Dean Henderson, according to a report.
After initially looking to have ousted David de Gea in the fight for the number one spot at the Red Devils following his return from a loan spell, a period out injured, as well as a return to form from the Spaniard, Henderson has found opportunities limited at Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old has managed to feature in just three games across all competitions so far this season, none of which have arrived in the Premier League.
As a result, rumours of interest from Newcastle United surfaced in the January transfer window, but no move materialised.
However, the Magpies have reportedly retained that interest ahead of a potential move this summer, and as a result, the Daily Star are reporting that his employers are requesting £40m for the services of the England international.
Henderson is said to be pushing for a move in order to secure his place in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the World Cup at the end of the year, where he will be competing with the likes of Jordan Pickford and Aaron Ramsdale for the number one spot.
Were Henderson to move to St James' Park for his price tag, he would become the most expensive British goalkeeper in history, with Ramsdale currently holding that record following his £30m move to Arsenal last summer.
