Former Manchester United goalkeeper Chris Turner has no doubts about the quality of Dean Henderson.

The United-own keeper is currently on-loan with Sheffield United.

Turner told the Mirror: “I live in Sheffield and have watched plenty of him. I've been at the Blades ­training ground and chatted with Chris Wilder who says Henderson is very motivated and believes in himself. He'd love to keep him permanently but he'd cost a lot of money in a fee and wages.

“Chris publicly criticised Henderson for letting Gini Wijnaldum's shot squirm under him against Liverpool last September.

“It was a harsh lesson – but good man-management. That spotlight might have affected some young players but Chris knows Henderson's mentality and the lad responded brilliantly and showed his character.
