Sheffield United loanee, Dean Henderson has said he does not really feel like a Manchester United player yet.
According to him, the feeling is still not there but he is glad that he can leave the club on loan in search of game time and recognition.
Henderson said being the No.1 at Manchester United will always be his dream but he is ready to bide his time and not stall his progress by waiting for his chance.
Speaking ahead of Man Utd’s clash vs Sheffield United on Sunday, his words, “Hopefully I can fulfill the ambition of playing for them one day and why not if I keep going the way I’m going?
“I still don’t believe I am a Man United player yet. I still feel I have a lot of work to do to get to that level.”
“For me, it was all about getting out on loan and trying something different.
“I always wanted to get out there and prove myself, rather than sit in my comfort zone.
“There are many players who are just happy to sit there and say they are Manchester United players, but realistically you aren’t for me until you are in the first team.
“I would like to see more goalkeepers go out into the lower leagues because it would be a big test for them. I’ve proven I can play in every division.
“The lower down the pyramid, the harder it was to be honest. Stockport was my hardest loan.
“I can still remember making mistakes and it was so difficult. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me up, but I was only a young kid and I have learnt so much since those early days.”
