Henderson made his United debut against Luton Town in our 3-0 Carabao Cup fourth-round triumph back in September 2020 and stated after the game: “I dreamt about this my whole life.”
He then followed up his maiden outing for the Reds with a second showing during our Carabao Cup fifth-round tie with Brighton, keeping another clean sheet in a 3-0 win against Brighton.
Dean made a total of 22 appearances and also played six times in Europe for the club, across the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.

Having already tasted Premier League football with the Reds, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest, his plethora of experience at the very top level will stand him in great stead moving forward into the next chapter of his career.

Last season, he made a total of 20 appearances and kept six clean sheets for Forest in their Premier League and EFL Cup campaigns.
