DEAN HENDERSON has finally left Manchester United after completing a permanent transfer to Crystal Palace.
The goalkeeper has signed for the Eagles in a £15million deal, which could increase to £20m with add-ons.

Henderson has penned a long-term deal with Roy Hodgson’s side as he looks to force his way back into Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
And the ex-Red Devil can’t wait to settle down at Selhurst Park after taking in six loans in the last eight years.
Henderson, 26, said: “I’m absolutely delighted and buzzing to be here. I can’t wait to get started.
“This club has got great fans and has a lot of top players who are hungry to succeed. There’s something being built here, and I really want to be a part of it.”
Chairman Steve Parish added: “Dean is a fantastic addition to our squad and goalkeeping unit.
“We have been long-term admirers of Dean’s, following his ascension through the ranks at Manchester United and England, but also his impressive achievements whilst on loan at Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United.”
Henderson started his career at Carlisle United before joining Man United in 2011.
However, he didn’t make his Red Devils debut until 2020 following loans at Stockport County, Grimsby Town, Shrewsbury Town and Sheffield United.

After his second season with the Blades, Henderson enjoyed a brief run in United’s XI, clocking up 29 appearances.
But he soon found himself behind David de Gea again and went out for a sixth loan to Nottingham Forest last term.
Henderson saw a possible return under Steve Cooper vanish when Forest signed Matt Turner from Arsenal.
And he is now set to compete with England pal Sam Johnstone for the No1 shirt at Palace.
