Dean Henderson has been the standout player of this brave Sheffield United side, as Chris Wilder and co have taken the Premier League by storm this season with a combination of togetherness, a never say die attitude and a seemingly alien system involving overlapping centre-halves.

The English shot-stopper, who is on loan from Manchester United, spent the previous league campaign on loan at Bramall Lane and played a pivotal role in securing promotion for his side, after which his loan spell was extended for another year.

Only Nick Pope (11) and Alisson Becker (10) have registered more Premier League clean sheets than Henderson (9) this season and the young goalkeeper's shot-stopping ability is amongst the best in the country.

Henderson is well set to go to the European Championships in the summer and with David de Gea's position at Manchester United coming under immense scrutiny in recent weeks, he could well be the long-term heir to the Spaniard at Old Trafford.
