Jagielka backing Sheffield Utd keeper Henderson for England call

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been backed for success at international level with England.

Henderson again impressed in Sheffield United's win over Everton on Saturday.

“I know Deano is desperate to get in there and get his international debut," Henderson's Blades teammate Phil Jagielka said.

“He just has to keep his head down here and keep doing the right things. And, above all, keep putting in performances like he did against Everton.

“It is all about getting experience when you are a young goalkeeper like Dean.

“No matter how good you are, you have to have that experience. He will need to make mistakes. He will need to have the highs and lows.

“But I think you could see afterwards just how excited he was. He was then trying to talk his way through the game in the changing room.

“What I like is he is a little bit of a perfectionist. That is what you want. He will only grow as a character and as an individual."
