Sheffield Utd boss Wilder: Henderson should be England No1 - now

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says Dean Henderson deserves not just an England call - but to be No1.

Manchester United loanee Henderson put in another impressive performance for the win over Bournemouth, and Wilder was asked after the match if the uncapped stopper should be England's no.1.

He said: “Dean is making a case to get in the England team outright, yes. I've maintained it all along, if there's a better goalie in the division right now then I don't know who that is.

“Everyone talks about concentration levels and Deano and the lads have got those.

“At that moment [when Sheffield Utd were under pressure], I was looking to my right a lot the way we were kicking. But when it mattered, he came up with the goods."
