Dean Henderson sets his ambitions high, as he is preparing to start his senior career at Manchester United.
David de Gea will face real competition for the No. 1 place at Old Trafford in the name of Dean Henderson who enjoyed a fantastic season on loan at Sheffield United last term.
The 23-year old goalkeeper signed a new, five-year contract with the Red Devils yesterday, which will keep him at the club until 2025.
He is yet to make his senior debut for Manchester United, after spending the last four year on loan at several different clubs across England.
“That (the debut) would mean the world to me. Everything I’ve done is to put myself in the position to do that. I’ve worked so hard behind the scenes and had to take different pathways to get to where I want to be today.”
“I’m sat here now, thinking about the next step and obviously that Man United debut would be something I’ll be very proud of and something I’ll never, ever forget, if it comes – when it comes!”
“I’ve always wanted to win trophies with this great football club and I’m a very ambitious young man. For me to come here and get so close, it’s about winning titles with the biggest club in the world, to me. Hopefully, we can get back to doing that soon,” he said for manutd.com.
Henderson also prized David de Gea’s career in England, stating he is hoping to replicate the Spaniard’s impact at Old Trafford.
“Yeah, obviously I can’t wait to get back in and I know them well. David De Gea has had an unbelievable career at the football club and it wasn’t so long ago I was saying, if I could replicate that career one day I would be a very proud man. “
“So to learn off him and the other two top goalkeepers within the department would be great. I am really looking forward to it.”
