Jose Mourinho has hailed Dean Henderson's career development as the former Manchester United boss recalled the moment he was taken aback by the goalkeeper's confidence during his time at Old Trafford.

Henderson, 24, has been selected in Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad for the Euros this summer after an excellent season in which the Englishman has forced his way into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting XI.

The United academy product has long had his eye on David de Gea's No 1 spot between the sticks, having talked up his chances during his impressive loan spell at Sheffield United.
