Celtic should look at Manchester United youngster Dean Henderson.

Celtic’s need for a goalkeeper has been exposed this season with neither Craig Gordon or Dorus de Vries looking like being long-term answers in the position.

The Sun recently tipped them to sign Manchester City prospect Angus Gunn, but he is a player Pep Guardiola is keen to hang onto.

Celtic would have better luck looking at Manchester United, specifically young stopper Dean Henderson.

A report in The Mirror this weekend claimed Henderson is keen to leave the Red Devils, where he sees his chances of first team football blocked.

Even if Sam Johnstone departs United, Henderson sits behind David de Gea, Sergio Romero and Joel Pereira, making him fourth choice at best.

The England under-21 international is on loan at Shrewsbury, where he is getting first team football under his belt.

Arsenal and Aston Villa are reportedly keen on Henderson [The Mirror], but Celtic should fancy their chances if they can offer Henderson a legitimate shot of playing regularly.

Henderson, 21, is just the type of player Celtic should be targeting from one of England’s top clubs, and his contract is up at the end of the season.

This makes him a very sensible investment for any club, and United would be loathe to lose him to a Scottish club, meaning they would miss out on substantial tribunal compensation.
