According to a report from the Manchester Evening News, Bristol City are interested in signing Manchester United youngster Dean Henderson, after the 21-year-old snubbed a new contract offered to him by the Red Devils.

The Robins enjoyed a fantastic start to last season’s Championship campaign, but eventually fell well off the pace, finishing in 11th spot in the table, a full eight points adrift of the play-off places.

Lee Johnson has a lot of work to do at Ashton Gate this summer, if he is to build a group of players who are capable of achieving promotion to the Premier League next term.

One particular area where the Bristol City boss might be looking to improve is his goalkeeping department, considering the fact that the 58 league goals they conceded last season was the worst tally inside the top 11.

The Manchester Evening News claims that Johnson is a big fan of United youngster Dean Henderson, and wants to bring him to the south west this summer.

The 21-year-old stopper spent last season on loan with Shrewsbury Town, and really impressed for the League One outfit, making 48 appearances in all competitions.

Whilst he is still young and inexperienced, Henderson would be a useful addition to the Bristol City squad, what with his tremendous potential.
