Sheffield Utd boss Wilder: Henderson returning - and could stay next season

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has revealed Dean Henderson will play out the season on-loan from Manchester United.

Henderson will finish the rest of the campaign on loan at Bramall Lane - and could yet be back for a third season.

"I spoke to Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] yesterday morning," Wilder said. "I thanked him for his co-operation with Dean and we are in the process, in the next couple of days, of finalising Dean's stay with us until the end of the season.

"Their manager was brilliant and was very pro to Dean staying and delighted in terms of what Dean has produced for us and what we have done for Dean as well. That can't go unmissed.

"We have had initial early conversations (to him coming back next season). Of course we would be open to Dean coming back but I have got huge respect for Manchester United and the football club.

"I have always gone on record as saying he is a Manchester United player and they will make the decision based on what is best for themselves and for Dean. If there is an opportunity we would love to take that up."
