Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is hopeful of retaining Dean Henderson for the rest of the season.

The goalkeeper is on loan from Manchester United and the two teams are vying for a European spot in the league.

But Wilder says the Red Devils are happy to renew the deal so that Henderson plays with Sheffield until this league season concludes.

Speaking on the The Gary Newbon Sport Show on Punching.TV, Wilder said: 'One of the things that's been talked about is the expiry of loans. We're hopeful of extending the loan, I know Dean wants it to be extended and I'm sure Man United want him to finish the season.

"They've been great with us. Our reputation when we take players has been good, I thought this is a good football club for the big clubs to send their young players to.

"We've had relationships with Chelsea, Spurs, Man United and obviously, Dean has been outstanding for us, broken into the England squad.

"We're hopeful that'll be extended and I think the importance of having a top-class goalie has been key for our results this year."
