Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has said he is āhonouredā to join Nottingham Forest for their first season back in the Premier League.
The England international has completed his season-long loan switch to the City Ground, the promoted club announced on Saturday morning.
Henderson was keen to leave Old Trafford this summer after struggling for game time at Man United this season.
Having appeared to make some headway in his battle with David De Gea for the No.1 spot in the 2020/21 season, the 25-year-old was again resigned to playing second fiddle last term.
He made just three appearances across the Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, with De Gea playing the entire season in goal in the Premier League.
The goalkeeper has now joined promoted Forest in search of regular first-team football, having flourished between the sticks during previous loan spells at Sheffield United between 2018 and 2020.
And Henderson said he was ādelightedā to join the historic club for their first top flight season in 24 years.
āIām absolutely delighted to be joining such a fantastic club with an amazing set of fans and a wonderful history,ā said the glovesman.
āI want to thank the manager and owners at Nottingham Forest for the great opportunity to play for this club in their first season back in the Premier League. Iām really excited to work with everyone at the club from the manager, players and goalkeeper coach Danny Alcock.
āFinally, just a massive thank you to the fans for the welcome I have received and I canāt wait to celebrate some brilliant moments together this coming season.ā
Henderson is Forestās second new signing of the summer, following the arrival of former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi for a club-record Ā£17.5million.
It is understood the agreement does not include an option to buy, with Steve Cooperās side covering his wages in full for the duration of the loan.
Henderson also cannot play against United as part of the terms of the agreement.
āDean is a top-class goalkeeper and heās hungry for more opportunities to play and to continue to prove himself at the highest level,ā said Forest boss Cooper.
āHeās played multiple times in the Premier League but has also experienced the Champions League and international football.
āAgain, Dean is someone who has attracted a lot of interest from other clubs and weāre delighted that he has chosen to Nottingham Forest for our return to the Premier League.ā
