    Despite missing out on the PFA Championship Team of the Year, Henderson was named Sheffield United’s Young Player and Community Player of the Year. Having shone in the lower leagues, Henderson believes he is now at the required level to play in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

    “Whether that is at Manchester United, Sheffield United, wherever, I’m good enough to be a Premier League goalkeeper. I deserve that chance,” he told the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “Do I think I should be playing at Manchester United now? Yes, I do.<\/p>\n

    “I think I am good enough and I would help the team a lot in a positive way.”<\/p>\n

    Regardless of his apparent desire to break into the Manchester United first-team, Henderson has been full of praise for Sheffield United since his arrival at Bramall Lane and has stated that he would be more than happy to return there next season.<\/p>\n

    He added: “If not there I’m sure I could go back to Sheffield United, play a season and then I’ll prove to Manchester United what they are missing.”<\/p>\n
