Ex-PL goalkeeper Schwarzer insists Dean Henderson won't settle for being David De Gea's back-up
  • De Gea's season continues to be plagued by inconsistency.
  • Henderson, meanwhile, has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the league.
  • Ex-Chelsea and Leicester man Schwarzer is confident that the Englishman can be Man United's first-choice shot-stopper.

Mark Schwarzer is adamant that Dean Henderson will not settle for anything less than being Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper next season.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, the former Chelsea and Leicester City shot-stopper said: "You've got Henderson playing so well at Sheffield United.

"He's made it clear he won't sit on the bench. Is Henderson good enough to take the number one shirt at United? He has the potential."

David De Gea's long-term Old Trafford future could be in jeopardy after the Spaniard made another mistake leading to a goal against Tottenham on Friday.

However, Henderson had a game to forget last week as well with the Englishman conceding three times in Sheffield Utd's defeat against Newcastle United.
