Nottingham Forest will reportedly attempt to sign Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson this summer.
The 26-year-old saw his loan at the City Ground cut short after suffering a thigh muscle tear during the win over Leicester City back in January. He has been sidelined ever since and recently had surgery.
Henderson made 20 appearances under Steve Cooper, quickly becoming a popular figure among fans. And he was present on Saturday night for Forest's victory over Arsenal which saw them ensure Premier League survival with a game to spare.

Reports claim Henderson is expected to push for an Old Trafford exit this summer after failing to establish himself at United.
With current United number one David de Gea out of contract at the end of the season, Henderson might not be completely out of the Old Trafford picture. But Forest are looking to sign him permanently after being impressed with his services, according to the Telegraph, and they say the player is also keen to make the move.
Keylor Navas the former Real Madrid star brought in to cover for Henderson in January, will return to parent club Paris Saint-Germain once the season is over.
According to the Daily Star, United will offer 32-year-old de Gea a testimonial to try to persuade him to sign to a new contract, thus helping ease Henderson out of the Old Trafford door.
