Red Devils Keeper Hits Out At Rumours
Manchester United's English goalkeeper Dean Henderson has hit out at rumours claiming he was the Premier League player arrested in 2019. The 24-yearold posted on social media: "I have a family who have been affected by this so wanted to put the rumours to bed and move on. Can't believe I'm having to do this but I'd just like to address the rumours that have come to light in the last couple of days. There are some sad people in the world that have attached my name to such inappropriate, hurtful and totally false news stories."
