da dobrowin： According to The Sun, Dean Henderson has asked for a whopping £75k-a-week in order to sign a new contract with the club.
What’s the word, then?
Well, the England Under-21 stopper has just 12 months remaining on his current deal at Old Trafford, and is believed to have asked for £75k-a-week in order to sign a new one – this would be triple his £25k-a-week salary.
Henderson starred whilst out on loan with Sheffield United in the Championship last term, helping the Blades win promotion to the Premier League whilst keeping an impressive 21 clean sheets – enough for the 22-year-old to win the Golden Glove.

The former Carlisle glovesman has never made an appearance of any kind for United since joining them eight years ago, but wants a show of faith from United in the form of a £75k-a-week contract offer.
Dan James salary has started a microcosm of Alexis Sanchez issue
Alexis Sanchez’s huge £500k-a-week wages have caused an imbalance in the dressing room and lead to a number of players seeking similar pay. David De Gea has pointed to the Chilean’s earnings when making his own demands over a new deal, Marcus Rashford now wants £350k-a-week due to his team-mate’s lofty pay and United are reportedly prepared to give Paul Pogba £500k-a-week to keep him at the club.
One can only assume that’s about top-earner status as much as the actual money involved, but nonetheless the huge contract given to Sanchez has pushed United down a dangerous path.
In the aforementioned report from The Sun, it states that Henderson wants ‘more than parity’ with new boy Dan James, who was signed in a £18m deal from Swansea and handed a huge £67k-a-week deal – sixteen times the £4k-a-week he was earning in Wales.

Why United felt the need to hand the Welshman such a huge pay packet is unknown, but is was unnecessary and has caused a microcosm of the Sanchez issue, with Henderson now making astronomical demands based on James’ earnings and rightly so seeing as he arguably performed better than the winger in the Championship last term. He gained promotion with Sheffield United and the division’s Golden Glove award.
The Red Devils aren’t learning their lesson in terms of handing out huge wages, and the Sanchez debacle has reared its ugly head yet again in microcosmic form.
