Man Utd keeper Henderson explains positive rivalry with McTominay, Rashford

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has revealed his positive rivalry with teammates Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay.

The trio are now important first-team players after coming through the club's academy at the same time.

"Growing up with them, going to the same school as them, spending a lot of time with them as youngsters, it's phenomenal to play with the likes of Marcus and Scotty," Henderson told MUTV.

"When Marcus scored on his debut against Midtjylland, that was a special moment. I celebrated with him in the crowd, but I wanted to be involved in that.

"That sort of hunger that you get and you drive for. You see that and it makes you want it even more; makes you believe that it can happen to you as well."

On McTominay, Henderson said: "Scotty works harder than anyone I've ever known. Me and him were always so competitive.

"We were so competitive in the gym, who could bench press more, who could squat more and so on."
