Sheffield United keeper Dean Henderson has been poking fun at Norwich City on his Instagram post this week, furthering the bond between him and the Blades fans.

He's already spoken of his desire to build the relationship with the fans, telling the Sheffield Star; “I’m a passionate boy, and I really want to do well anywhere I go. I also become a fan of wherever I go, too. It was the same at Shrewsbury last season, and now the same at United."

His latest post will certainly highlight him as a fan as well as a player. He's been on England U21 duty this weekend, featuring at Carrow Road against the Netherlands in a 0-0 draw. After the game, he took the time to have a laugh at the Canaries expense.

The Manchester United keeper made a short video of himself walking through what appears to be Norwich City's training ground singing; ‘Take your time, take your time Sheff United.” It is part of a tune that first surfaced last season, with Blades fans angry at their opponents time-wasting antics. in a match.

It was heard again earlier this season as the Blades beat Daniel Farke’s side, a game in which Henderson played and clearly also listened.

The Verdict

I love hearing stuff like this, doubtless a few Canaries fans won't agree but players should be passionate and they should identify with the fans.

Henderson will get a huge cheer when he runs out next week. Fans love a connection with their heroes and in the Championship, sometimes that connection can be lost.
