Henderson signs new Utd contract

Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has signed a new contract which will keep him at Old Trafford until 2025, with the option to extend for a further year, the Premier League club said Wednesday.

The 23-year old spent two seasons on loan at Sheffield United, helping them earn promotion from the second tier Championship in the 2018-19 campaign before keeping 13 clean sheets in the Premier League last season.

Financial details of the contract were not disclosed but British media reported Henderson will earn about 120,000 pounds ($159,000) per week at United.

Henderson will fight for a first-team place with Spain international David de Gea, who came under scrutiny last season following a number of high-profile errors, and Argentine Sergio Romero.

United finished third in the Premier League last season to secure Champions League qualification.
