De Gea improvement at Manchester United down to Henderson's presence, claims Fletcher

David de Gea's improved displays for Manchester United this season are due to the pressure from Dean Henderson's return to the club, according to Darren Fletcher.

Henderson starred on loan at Sheffield United last season and the goalkeeper was brought back to Old Trafford to serve as competition for De Gea, who made a number of high-profile errors in 2019-20.

Although many tipped Henderson to take over the United starting role, so far De Gea has been in strong form for the Red Devils this season.
