Dean Henderson, a Manchester United player who is on loan atNottingham Forest, had a bad season last year.
Henderson told TalkSPORT he was promised the United No 1 jersey after his club form in 2020/21, which had seen him talked about as replacing Jordan Pickford as England's first-choice goalkeeper.
After returning early from the summer tournament with Covid, the then-24-year-old failed to make a single appearance for the club under either Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Ralf Rangnick, and has subsequently been replaced in the England squad by the younger brother of a player.

A season on the bench left Henderson about his treatment at Old United, and he said: "The conversation I had was that you're coming back here to be the number one goalkeeper." Unfortunately, no one followed through with what they told me.
They wouldn't let me go after I turned down so many loans. It was hard to understand. I think it's criminal to sit there and waste a year. I wasn't happy.
Now on loan at Forest, Henderson looks certain to start their season opener with Newcastle at St James' Park on Saturday, as the Trees return to the premier league for the first time in 17 years.

Is it possible thatRonaldo's absence could help?
This could be Jadon Sancho's restart year at Manchester United after a poor first season.
On signing for the club last month, the goalkeeper called his discussions with manager Steve Cooper "outstanding" ahead of his decision to move to the City Ground, and said he felt like a "caged animal" now unleashed ahead of the new season.
He told Sky Sports News that he was ready to return. Being the underdogs and being able to play in front of a full St James' Park is amazing for me.
The manager has been 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- I would like to play for him. I want to show him that I have good faith in him. I would love to play against them, but I can't because I'm not good enough.
