Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has revealed that Dean Henderson still harbours ambitions to become the first-choice goalkeeper for both Manchester United and England.

Henderson rose through the youth ranks at Old Trafford before graduating to the senior squad in 2015, but is still awaiting his debut for the club five years on.

The 23-year-old took in loan spells at Stockport, Grimsby and Shrewsbury before being snapped up on a temporary basis by Sheffield United ahead of the 2018-19 season.

Wilder says he has not given up on making the grade at United.

"He wants to be an international goalkeeper, he wants to win 50-odd caps and play for Manchester United, a huge, huge football club in the world," said Wilder.

"He's going to have to overcome disappointments. His reaction speaks volumes about what he's like and what our changing room is like."
