Dean Henderson says goodbye to Sheffield and welcomes to a new contract
Dean Henderson is set to become one of the best-paid goalkeepers as he returns to Old Trafford.
The Englishman has surprisingly ended a two-year loan spell at Bramall Lane as a Blade. He helped Chris Wilder achieve amazing things in his time with the club and was set to stay for another season to maintain the great progress he has shown with the exceptional defensive unite the Blades possessed.
"I will look back at the last two years as an important chapter in my career… I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and develop with such a class group of lads. Henderson bids the Blades goodbyes"
What stopped another loan opportunity from progressing, the performances and form of David de Gea of late. It has forced Manchester United to keep one of the best goalkeepers of the 2019-2020 Premier League campaign at Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears to have backed down on his previous comments regarding this goalkeeper dilemma.
He stated Dean Henderson was not ready to challenge de Gea for the number one spot, as well as the Spaniard being a far way off from being knocked off the thrown. Now the duo will battle it out for the number 1 spot, benefitting the club considerably.
