Henderson left 'exhausted' by De Gea battle at Man Utd and 'devastated' by injury

The 24-year-old worked his way into the Red Devils team last season, but then saw his Euro 2020 dreams dashed with England

Dean Henderson admits to being left "exhausted" by his battle with David de Gea for starting duties at Manchester United, with that challenge ultimately leading to an injury that dashed Euro 2020 dreams with England.

A highly-rated 24-year-old returned to Old Trafford last summer after spending two productive seasons on loan at Sheffield United.

He was initially forced to fill back-up duties with the Red Devils, but earned a regular role in early March and ended the campaign with 26 appearances to his name.
