And the French giants are looking to capitalize on the situation, using their wealth to secure the services of the Spaniard.
De Gea currently earns £375,000-a-week wages and PSG are one of few clubs in Europe that could afford the hefty pay despite the economic effect of the pandemic.
United could make do with one of their top goalkeepers in the summer and neither De Gea nor Henderson want to settle down as a second choice.
The former Sheffield United shot-stopper has been outstanding against Crystal Palace and Man City since De Gea was given a six-match leave.
And the young English goalkeeper is eyeing the England number one spot and wants to kick start his career immediately.
On the other hand, PSG want an immediate successor for Keylor Navas whose contract is set to expire at the end of the 2023 season.
