Henderson has struggled for games this season despite featuring regularly in the Premier League last term.

And it’s now expected the Englishman will move on in a bid to land more regular football.

Newcastle have been linked, and according to The Mirror, they remain keen, with Eddie Howe seeing Henderson as the ideal replacement for Martin Dubravka.

It’s not clear whether Henderson will leave Old Trafford permanently, but a loan deal could be on the table in any case.

The Magpies have also been linked with a move for Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic.

Perisic has reportedly rejected contract offers from Inter, annoyed by the fact it took too long for the Italian giants to extend his deal.

And the midfielder is now set to leave San Siro for nothing this summer, with his contract set to expire at the end of June.

According to Corriere dello Sport via InsideFutbol, Perisic is now waiting for a concrete offer from a Premier League club ahead of this summer.

Could Newcastle be the club to make that offer?
