Sheffield Utd boss Wilder on Henderson doubts: Man Utd know we're no threat

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has dismissed talk of losing Dean Henderson to Manchester United before the season ends.

Wilder has talked down Sheffield United's hopes of beating United to the final Champions League place in hope that the Red Devils will allow them to extend goalkeeper Dean Henderson's loan deal.

"Have you just said something there about a Champions League place? We've only just got enough points to stay in the Premier League," Wilder told beIN Sports.

"Sheffield United competing with Man United for a Champions League place, Rich are you sure? We're not a threat to them."

Henderson's loan is due to expire on June 30 but the Premier League season may not be concluded by then.

"I personally think it will be morally correct to leave [Henderson] playing with Sheffield United for the last 10 games of the season," Wilder added.

"Because of the legalities and the situation regarding the expiry of the loan, they might take that decision [to recall him], but we are not a threat to Man U."
