Dimitar Berbatov believes David de Gea deserves to continue as Manchester United's number one goalkeeper but that Dean Henderson deserves a proper chance at Old Trafford to show what he can do.
De Gea has been first choice at United for much of his career at Old Trafford, since joining from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011 as Edwin van der Sar's replacement. The 32-year-old has made approaching 550 appearances for United in more than a decade.
In that time, he has won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup twice and the Europa League too. However, his contract with United is poised to expire this summer and he is yet to sign the fresh terms offered.

United are happy to give De Gea a new contract providing he signs on reduced terms. The goalkeeper is in negotiations over an extension and the official announcement is expected soon.
Dean Henderson has spent the season in the Premier League on loan at Nottingham Forest. He will return to Old Trafford this summer after not playing since mid-January for Forest following a torn thigh, which he has had successful surgery on and is poised to be ready for action in time for pre-season.
Berbatov believes de Gea deserves to continue as United's number one shot-stopper, but that Henderson also deserves to have a chance at Old Trafford which the former striker feels the 26-year-old has not had yet. He believes a fight for the number one spot is something which would benefit both de Gea and Henderson, but that Mike Maignan of AC Milan is a player which Erik ten Hag ought to consider if he wants to bring in reinforcements this summer.
