Sheffield Utd striker Sharp: Henderson told us he'll come back

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has assured Sheffield United they remain his priority next season.

Henderson has told his Sheffield United team-mates he will be back on loan at the club next season if he is not guaranteed a starting role at Manchester United.

Billy Sharp - match-winner against Norwich on Saturday - clearly rates his 22-year-old team-mate.

"I'm certain he'll be England's number one soon," said Sharp. "He has to be with his performances - and he wants to be as well."

Of Henderson's future, Sharp said: "We're not in his ear about it, we don't need to be.

"He wants to come back. He wants to play for Man United, obviously - he's not going to lie - but if he can't do that he wants to play for Sheffield United."
