Dean Henderson has signed a long-term contract extension with Manchester United.


The Englishman's future has been the centre of much speculation after two successful loan spells at Sheffield United.

But the 23-year-old has now signed a six-year contract which will pay him £120,000-a-week.

The deal is for an initial five years with an option for a further year.

"The goalkeeping department at United is excellent; there are three top-level goalkeepers who have achieved so much in the game and I look forward to working with the group," Henderson said.

"The faith that the manager and the club have shown in me with this contract means a lot to me and will continue my progression as a goalkeeper.

"I'll be giving everything to improve every day so that I can play as many games as possible for this great club. Now I am looking forward to joining up with the England squad and then preparing for the season ahead."
