Henderson, who has been one of the stars of the Blades' season so far, has set his sights on becoming the first-choice for his parent club and England.

The Spaniard signed a eye-watering long-term deal at Old Trafford recently, and told the club website: "Yeah, I'm getting older. Just to be a part of this club is amazing.

"So imagine, to be nearly 10 years, it's like a dream. It's great to play games with this club, so I hope I can be here more years, many years."
