And the north London giants have flatly refused to let the likes of Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Eric Dier move to Old Trafford in the years since.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher recently opened up on Henderson.
And he claimed the United goalkeeper could be England’s No 1 at the upcoming European Championships if he’s able to keep De Gea out of the team.
Carragher said: "You think if Henderson becomes the United goalkeeper, I always think it is very difficult for an England manager to not pick a player at a top club never mind a goalkeeper or another position.
"I think Nick Pope would find it difficult to become a regular for England because he plays for Burnley.

“And no disrespect to Sean Dyche and the club, but the way they play and certainly the way Southgate wants to play is completely different.
"Now if you're playing for Manchester United week in week out, playing maybe Champions League football, or the top end where the pressure is as high as possible, that gives him [Henderson] a great possibility.
"Maybe after this tournament, I think Pickford will keep his place for that.
“But I think going forward next season, if Henderson is the Manchester United goalkeeper, I think it is very difficult not to pick him for England."

Ben Foster also thinks similarly.
He said: "If you are playing for Man Utd and you are doing it week in week out like I think Dean can do and will do, then it is a no-brainer that he can play for England.
"If you look at the [other] goalkeepers we have got in the squad in Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford, [then] I think Dean Henderson is a mixture of both of them.
"He is very good technically, a very good shot-stopper but he is also very good with his feet as well."
