"I'd give my right leg to play for Manchester United," said Dean Henderson, as the young goalkeeper faces a crucial summer in his career.
Henderson spent last season helping Sheffield United to promotion from the Championship, and has made it clear he wants to be playing in the Premier League next season.
He told The Mail. : "I'm good enough to be a Premier League goalkeeper. I deserve that chance. It's a tough one to say where. But do I think I should be playing at Manchester United now? Yes I do.
"If not there I'm sure I could go back to Sheffield United, play a season and then I'll prove to Manchester United what they are missing.
"I would give my right leg to play for that football club. That has been my dream since I was a little boy, being a fan. I just know I'm working hard in the background and waiting for any little opportunity that comes up. If it does, I will take it for the next 10 to 15 years."
Henderson is preparing for the U21 Euros this month, but will discuss his future when he returns.
But wherever he ends up, United fans believe they have the kind of player on the books who fits the United DNA.
