Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: 'Dean Henderson can become one of the best in the world'

The Manchester United manager praised the 'great competition' between Dean Henderson and David De David de Gea.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed Dean Henderson to become a world-class goalkeeper as the academy graduate continues to push long-standing Manchester United number one David De Gea.

The 23-year-old returned to Old Trafford in the summer following two impressive loan seasons with Sheffield United, having also enjoyed temporary stints at Shrewsbury, Grimsby and Stockport.

Such experiences helped establish Henderson as one of the best young goalkeepers around, leading United to bring him into the first-team squad in the summer and reward him with a new and improved deal until at least 2025.

Solskjaer would not confirm whether the homegrown shot-stopper would make his fourth United appearance in Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Istanbul Basaksehir but said opportunities would be forthcoming.

“We need at least 10 points to go through definitely. But maybe, even likely that you have to have 12 points.

“We’re going to go into this game trying to win it, of course, and try to win it well with a good performance because we’ve got games coming thick and fast.

“Getting to 10 points as quickly as you can was the main point but that defeat was a big blow.”

Solskjaer hopes to be able to call upon Paul Pogba for Tuesday’s Group H encounter after the midfielder missed the win against West Brom with a knock.

“It’s nice to hear from one of the best centre-backs in the world from the past. I was very happy to see that tweet.

“Of course my time here is over.

“I am really happy with everything I did for this club and for the memories I had here.”
