Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel says Manchester United should leave Dean Henderson out on-loan.

While making a passionate defence of David de Gea's form this season, Schmeichel also offered his opinion on the future of the Spaniard's Manchester United teammate.

He said, "There is a lot of pressure also in the sense that you now have an England goalkeeper coming through and, like it or not, in this country when you have an English goalkeeper, that means so much and they really do tend to build them up.

"I genuinely hope for someone like Dean Henderson, who's had an amazing season, that he can be allowed to develop.

"I hope for him, he gets another season, maybe two at Sheffield United and play the way he's done and then he'll be ready.

"But for now, David de Gea is still a world-class goalkeeper. It's a lonely position and those are the margins you play in as a goalkeeper – you simply cannot make mistakes because you will be punished."
