Sheffield United: Dean Henderson names the one condition that must be met before Blades loan return
The super stopper had a stellar campaign at Bramall Lane last season, with his inspirational performances between the sticks seeing him earn the Championship Golden Glove award, and ensure the Blades earned automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Speaking to the Mirror, Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder revealed he was confident of Henderson’s return, but said the deal hinged on the youngster first signing a new deal with the Red Devils.

“He wants his United contract sorted out first of all but, in terms of putting another temporary deal in place, I think we’re in a good place with that one. United are pleased with what happened when he came here, with the way his game developed and the way he progressed over the course of the year.

Wilder concluded: “He’s rated very highly at Old Trafford and you can understand why. Dean was outstanding for us last season and being able to bring him back again for another year would be brilliant.”
