The 23-year-old Cumbrian – on loan from Manchester United – has kept 10 clean sheets this season as the Blades’ continued their remarkable charge towards qualifying for Europe before the current campaign was halted by the coronavirus outbreak.
Here we take a look at what pundits, fellow players and managers have said about Henderson during this stunning season for him.

“I’m looking at De Gea and thinking, I’d have Dean Henderson at Sheffield United over you. He’s had a stinker. Henderson is a Manchester United player and his performances have been far better than De Gea’s this season.” Photo: Ben Radford
10. Billy Sharp, Sheffield United team-mate
“He’s been brilliant and I’d be impressed by him even if he wasn’t playing for United, if he was putting in performances like he has been. He has made just one error this season and it’s not up to me who picks England’s No.1, but I have to say that he’s the best goalkeeper I've ever played with and he's got a great career ahead of him.” Photo: Nigel Roddis
11. Daniel Farke, Norwich City manager
“I still don’t know how the ball did not go in," Farke on Henderson's remarkable triple save to deny his side in United's 1-0 win over Norwich earlier this month. Photo: Nigel Roddis
