Dean Henderson's Bramall Lane blunder was a reminder he still has some way to go to challenge David De Gea... but late saves show youngster has potential to be special

When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke earlier this week about the ‘different demands’ he places on Dean Henderson compared to the goalkeeper’s time at Sheffield United, the ability to pass the ball out from the back was no doubt one of them.

It made what happened on his return to Bramall Lane with Manchester United on Thursday night all the more horrible for Henderson.

The 23-year-old made just one solitary mistake that led to Sheffield United conceding a goal in the Premier League last season, allowing Georginio Wijnaldum’s volley to squirm through his legs in a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool.
