Newcastle United will not be signing Dean Henderson from Manchester United this summer - according to reports.

The Cumbrian stopper has been heavily linked with a move to St James' Park ahead of the 2022/23 season, with both loan and permanent deals mooted.

But the Telegraph now report that a move to Tyneside is not on the table.

United co-owner Steven Pattison said recently that Henderson staying at Manchester United and establishing himself could actually prove more lucrative for Carlisle.
