Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has poured cold water on Celtic's interest in Dean Henderson, insisting the goalkeeper wants to stay at Old Trafford.

The Hoops had been tentatively linked with a possible loan switch for the former Sheffield United loanee. And Solskjaer previously claimed he could be willing to allow the stopper to leave on loan again. Now, however, the Red Devils boss insists Henderson wants to stick around and fight for a spot in the starting XI.

While he did not confirm Henderson would play in the upcoming Champions League game against Istanbul Besaksahir, he did say opportunities would present themselves to the goalie in future.

"Dean wants to stay at Man United and play for Man United," he said of Henderson, who this month made his senior England debut and is pushing for a place at the rearranged European Championships.

"I can’t see the logic in [suggestions there is] only one potential appearance left before Christmas. Do you know how many games we’ve got? I disagree completely that tomorrow is make-or-break for Dean. He’s come back in, he is training really well, he’s maturing. He’s had some games.

"He’s training with, for me, one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He’s got potential to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world. It’s a great competition between them. I don’t buy that argument that it’s a make or break for him.

"It’s not up to me to keep everyone happy, you know. I’ve said that a few times. The performances will always be the deciding factor if you play or not. I think every position that you play for Man United, it is your duty or your responsibility to make me and the coaches happy, so then there’s a bigger chance you can play next time."

Henderson had been touted with a possible switch to Parkhead by media outlets around the country last week. He has made three club appearances this season so far.
