Sheffield United reveal transfer stance on Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson

Sheffield United have opened negotiations with Manchester United to keep the Red Devils goalkeeper Dean Henderson on loan for another season. The 22-year-old enjoys his second loan with the Blades, contributing in the club's game in the Premier League. He impressed against Manchester City on Tuesday, saving the team from goals several times and denying Gabriel Jesus from penalty spot. Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has praised the goalkeeper and revealed they are already in talks for extending the contract with United. He said: "He wants to play first-team football. Maybe I shouldn't be saying this but I'm not so sure he'll play back-up to anybody because it's just the character of the boy. Maybe he'll come out and say it. If there's a decision for Manchester United for him to come out to us for another year.We'd gladly take that. We've already started talking with them but he's their player and that decision will be made on behalf of Manchester United and their player but he's been outstanding for us." Henderson's performances are likely to lead him to the European Championship in the summer. Speaking on the case, Wilder added: "I think he's been outstanding. I know there's a pecking order in that England group but they must be really good goalkeepers to get in ahead of him at the moment because I thought his kicking and his positional sense was great tonight, he was unfortunate to concede what was a world-class pass and a fabulous finish."
