Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck backs Blades loanee Dean Henderson to become the new first-choice goalkeeper at Manchester United.

John Fleck has heaped praise on current Sheffield United teammate Dean Henderson for his performances during his time at Bramall Lane.

The goalkeeper, on loan from Manchester United, has helped the Blades put together one of the best defensive records in the Premier League and into contention for a European place.

With the 23-year-old being tipped to represent his parent club next season, Fleck has backed the Englishman to eventually dislodge long-time number one David de Gea.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the Scot said: "He's been amazing and he's still a young boy. He's kept clean sheets, made some massive saves for us, kept us in games at times. I'm sure he's going to have a massive career ahead of him.

"He'll quite openly tell you he wants to be Manchester United's number one and England's number one as quick as possible. I don't think, personally, he's too far away from that now."

Henderson has conceded just 22 goals from 27 outings in the Premier League during the current campaign.
