Having helped Sheffield United earn promotion to the Premier League last season, Dean Henderson may have been hoping to return to Manchester United to compete for the number one spot at Old Trafford this year.
Instead, the England U21 international signed a new long-term contract with the Red Devils, and headed back to Bramall Lane for the current campaign. The sentiment behind wanting him to experience a full season of top-flight football is understandable, and the 22-year-old has impressed immensely.
In fact, his form has led to him receiving a nomination for the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for October, and he is part of a six-man shortlist that includes the likes of Jamie Vardy, Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Grealish, Youri Tielemans and Willian.
After seeing their on-loan prospect get recognised for his displays, United fans flooded to Twitter to share their delight.
