Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson says winning promotion with Sheffield United was about real bottle.

Sheffield United's eventual promotion was a remarkable, against-the-odds achievement given they were tipped for relegation after losing their first two games.

'Real men turn up' became the team mantra, reports the Daily Mail, repeated in their pre-match huddles and inspiring Chris Wilder's side for the rest of the season.

"People are getting too soft in football and the real winners have filtered out of the game but we've got that in our changing room which is why we have won this season," Henderson told the Daily Mail.

"Sheffield United will stay in my heart forever. I love this club to pieces for what they've given me this year and the same with Shrewsbury. Money can't buy those sort of things.

"They've given me an opportunity prove my worth and got me to the next level again."
