* Henderson has impressed for the Blades and on international duty with England
* He saved a penalty during the Young Lions 2-1 defeat by France on Tuesday

Manchester United will reportedly offer England Under 21 international Dean Henderson a new contract before he is returned to newly promoted Sheffield United on loan.

The 22-year-old goalkeeper played an integral role during the Blades promotion push last season and has continued his fine form into this summer's Under 21 European Championships.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is already faced with the prospect of trying to tie down No 1 shot stopper David de Gea to a contract beyond the 12 months left on his present deal, but he is keen to ensure the club do not lose a grip of Henderson.

The Mirror report that the Red Devils will sort out Henderson's contract situation and offer him a new deal before he returns to Yorkshire for the new Premier League season.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder expressed his delight that the English prospect will be returning to Bramall Lane.

He told the Mirror: 'Dean made it clear to us that he has a very strong interest in coming back to Bramall Lane, and Manchester United are happy to go along with that.

'He wants his United contract sorted out first of all but, in terms of putting another temporary deal in place, I think we're in a good place with that one.

'United are pleased with what happened when he came here, with the way his game developed and the way he progressed over the course of the year.

'He's rated very highly at Old Trafford and you can understand why. Dean was outstanding for us last season and being able to bring him back again for another year would be brilliant.'

Henderson is Aidy Boothroyd's first-choice goalkeeper in Italy at the European Championships and he impressed in the Young Lions opening defeat by France.

He saved a penalty by Lyon forward Moussa Dembele in the first half, before England took a deserved lead through Phil Foden.

Henderson saw another spot-kick crash against his goal-post, while there was little he could do to prevent France's late comeback as Jonathan Ikone and and an Aaron Wan-Bissaka own goal resulted in a costly defeat.
