Solskjaer gave Henderson coaching tips to become England’s number one goalkeeper.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who is Manchester United manager has tipped English goalkeeper Dean Henderson to become the first choice for club and country after impressing during his loan spell at Sheffield United.
Academy product Henderson helped Sheffield win promotion from the Championship last season and has kept 10 clean sheets for them in the Premier League in the current campaign, second only to Burnley’s Nick Pope.
With David de Gea currently the first choice in Manchester, Solskjaer said no decision had been made where the 23-year-old Henderson would play next season.
“Dean has made some great choices over the years and has developed fantastically,” Solskjaer said ahead of the Premier League’s restart on Wednesday following a coronavirus shutdown.
“This season has proved a great experience for him, he’s done himself some favours with his performances and proved he will be England’s No. 1 and Man United’s No. 1 at some point.”
