Dean Henderson on the verge of extending loan deal at Sheffield United until the end of the season, confirms Chris Wilder - after positive talks between Blades boss and Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

An extension to Dean Henderson's loan deal at Sheffield United will be finalised in the 'next couple of days', says Blades manager Chris Wilder.

Henderson's loan at Bramall Lane from Manchester United is due to expire on June 30, with this season's Premier League extending into July to the coronavirus crisis which paused football for three months.

But after positive talks between Wilder and Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, an extension to the loan is expected to be confirmed before Sheffield Utd open up the Premier League restart at Aston Villa on Wednesday.
