​Man Utd manager Solskjaer: I want Henderson back from Sheffield Utd

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken about his plans for Dean Henderson.

The loanee is at Sheffield United this season, where he has excelled in the Premier League.

With United's no.1 David De Gea committing yet another howler against Everton, questions are being asked about who will get the starting spot for next season.

Solskjaer told reporters about the situation after his team's 1-1 draw with Everton on Sunday.

"We want the best possible squad for Man Utd and Dean's our player," Solskjaer told his press conference at Goodison Park.

"He's doing really well at the moment, and the day he comes back he's obviously fighting to play here as well.

"But David's shown his reaction, the way he made amends and saved [Gylfi] Sigurdsson's chance at the end.

"David's the best goalkeeper in the world, Dean is a very good challenger and then Sergio [Romero, the current No.2] is a decent challenger as well.

"We want a squad full of quality and with competition and if you want to survive at the top you need to bounce off competitions from right, left and centre."
