Dean Henderson after achieving promotion
“It’s a massive football club and driving forward they deserve to be in the Premier League.
“For me personally I was really emotional and I’ve told the gaffer (Chris Wilder) ‘listen, don’t let me leave’, but obviously it comes down to the two clubs to agree on money and stuff, so I’ll be itching at the bit to come back here next season.”
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder
“Dean has been first-class for us. Everyone looks at what happened at Villa, not just at Dean but the team in general, how would he and we react?
“The answer is what Dean has produced since and what the players have found since then too. I’m not surprised he’s been talking about, but there are some unbelievable goalkeepers in front of him that he’s got to get past.
“But at the moment he is doing all he can. He is playing extremely well and playing a part in what have been consistently good team performances.

Wilder has heaped praise on his goalkeeper this season
“He’s up there with the best in the division, but Leeds signed a boy from Real Madrid and Sam Johnstone still gives me sleepless nights.
“But Dean is right up there and last season he was certainly the best in League One and I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t in contention for accolades come the end of the season.
“Dean wants to play football and I congratulate him for his attitude, it’s changed in recent years and he wants to get his hands dirty, just like Kieran Dowell.”
England manager Gareth Southgate on Henderson
“In terms of Angus [Gunn], he’s just got into the team – so Alex McCarthy is unfortunate to be out of the team at Southampton – and Angus has got a good challenge to get in our under-21s because Dean Henderson is playing really well at Sheffield United and is also close to our squad. There’s good competition for places.”
