"I'm absolutely delighted and buzzing to be here," Henderson told Palace TV. “I can't wait to get started.

“This club has got great fans and a lot of top players who are hungry to succeed. There's something being built here, and I really want to be a part of it.

“The fans are great [at Selhurst Park]. They're always great, making a great atmosphere. I'm really excited to play with them, rather than against them!"

Henderson's end a 12-year association with United.

“I've been there for 12 years and I had some good times, and some bad times, there. I'm really grateful for everything they've done for me throughout my career. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

“That chapter's over now, and I'm really excited for my new challenge here. I can't wait to get started.

“This is what I wanted this summer. I just had a little boy two weeks ago, so I wanted to settle the family down, kick on and find a new home and, as I say, enjoy myself and be settled. Now, I'm just getting used to my new surroundings. We're all really excited for it."
