Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been urged to quit the club at the earliest opportunity. Henderson has made just one first-team appearance this season, in United's 1-0 loss to West Ham in the Carabao Cup in September.

United boss Solskjaer has previously stated he has two No 1s in De Gea and Henderson.
But the Norwegian's former team-mate Peter Schmeichel claimed last month that was the wrong thing to do.
Schmeichel says goalkeepers perform best when they know they are the outright first-choice stopper.
"It wasn’t the greatest situation to create for himself when Ole announced that he had two number ones," Schmeichel said on David Seaman's podcast Seaman Says.

"For me, you cannot have a competition situation on your goalkeeping position. The one thing you don’t want your goalkeepers to do is to go out and prove how good they are.
"You want them to be steady, just do their job like David [Seaman] did, all the way throughout 20 years. Just absolutely rock solid, being trusted by everybody to do that job.
"We know, because we’ve been in that goal, that we are going to make mistakes that cost goals and mistakes that make us look silly.
"But if you have a competition situation and you make a mistake and you then know the other guy will get the chance then I can guarantee you will make the next mistake because your concentration is gone.
"That’s what goalkeeping is all about: concentration and being rock solid."
