'He is a very good goalkeeper - De Gea is going to have a battle on to stay as No 1 for Manchester United': Andy Cole full of praise for Dean Henderson after fine save from Leandro Trossard preserved his second clean sheet

Andy Cole and Darren Fletcher have heaped praise on Dean Henderson after his stellar performance saw Manchester United triumph over Brighton.

Henderson executed an outstanding one-handed save to deny Leandro Trossard and preserve his second clean sheet for United as they won 3-0.

Such a performance would have left David De Gea sitting uncomfortably as his competitor closes in on his position as first-choice goalkeeper.
