Quinny: Liverpool captain Henderson would walk into every team - except one

Former Newcastle United striker Mick Quinn believes Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson would walk into most teams in the Premier League.

Henderson was handed a new five-year deal at Anfield this week after an impressive summer in which he helped England to the World Cup semi-finals.

“Yeah I definitely think he'd get in United," Quinn said on Talksport.

“They've been struggling. Fred, I mean what's he done? He got bombed at the weekend, he hasn't settled in.

“I think he's better than Herrera. Matic? No I think Matic is probably (better), he's proved he's a better player, he's won Premier Leagues.

“Spurs? Yeah. Well he got in front of Dier at the World Cup so in my book he'd be in front of Eric Dier in Spurs' team.

“City, who's in there? Fernandinho, again he's won Premier Leagues hasn't he, so you've just probably got to give it to him, just to edge him.

“Oh yeah, me and you would get in the Arsenal team Alan [Brazil, presenter] especially in that midfield, definitely."
