Sheffield United's new signing Dean Henderson has been speaking to the Sheffield Star this week and believes that his new club can challenge for promotion once again next term.

The Manchester United goalkeeper, who has joined the Blades on a season long loan deal, was speaking to the local newspaper, and had praise for manager Chris Wilder in his comments.

“You look at the manager for a start and he is so passionate in where he wants to go and take the club,” the goalkeeper said. “Being a fan himself, he wants it all."

I am a passionate lad as well and have a hunger and desire to go to the next level, improve, and get good things on my CV. If I could get a promotion with Sheffield United on my CV, then I’d be absolutely delighted. It would make for the perfect year.”

Henderson was superb for Shrewsbury Town last season in League One as they made it to the playoff final, only to be halted by Rotherham United at Wembley despite Henderson putting in another stellar display.

The youngster was courted by a whole host of teams this summer, but opted to sign for the Blades to replace last season's number one Jamal Blackman, who has returned to Chelsea.

"And who knows, you saw it at Shrewsbury last season where we defied the odds. The opportunity is there for us to do really well this season.” added Henderson.
