A permanent move to Manchester:
In August 2020 the goalkeeper signed a contract with Manchester United that nets him a whopping salary of €5.5 million. He was rewarded with a 5 year-long contract at United which confirmed his net worth around £26 million. He made his senior debut in the third round of the League Cup against Luton Town. He was also very much excited to make his debut in the Champions League. The outcome at the end was not as planned but it was a dream come true moment for him. However, his luck was not on his side as he couldn’t participate in the Euros due to an injury. He has made his England national team debut but only for a friendly.
Henderson is quite young and has a long way to go. He is already learning from one of the best goalkeepers in the world, David De Gea. This will be fruitful for him in the coming days. His rising net worth speaks for his immense improvement. Though United signed Tom Heaton, but Solskjaer has confirmed that Dean is the 2nd goalkeeper. So, the future looks quite bright for the youngster.
