He quickly established himself as the first-choice , making 46 league appearances and keeping 21 clean sheets, which played a pivotal role in the team's automatic promotion to the [Premier League](/page/Premier League) after finishing second in the table. His outstanding shot-stopping and consistency earned him the EFL Championship award, as well as Sheffield United's Young Player of the Year and Community Player of the Year honors. The following season, Henderson returned to Bramall Lane on another year-long loan for Sheffield United's debut. He featured in 36 league matches, recording 13 clean sheets and contributing to the newly promoted side's impressive ninth-place finish, just five points shy of European qualification.

Manchester United first team

Henderson returned to Manchester United for the 2020–21 season following successful loan spells at Sheffield United, where he had established himself as a reliable performer in the .

He managed only 5 appearances across all competitions—1 each in the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup, 1 in the EFL Cup (where he kept a clean sheet against West Ham United), and 2 in lower-tier youth fixtures— with no Premier League outings.
