Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is hopeful of being able to keep hold of loan goalkeeper Dean Henderson for the Blades' return to the Premier League next season.
The 22-year-old Manchester United gloveman was a key figure for the Blades as they secured second place in the Championship and a return to the English top-flight for the first time since 2007.
We've got a good relationship with Manchester United and if Dean signs we'll be delighted.

And Wilder hopes to be able to call on Henderson once again next term, with the England Under-21 international having played in all 46 league games for the Sheffield outfit this term.
He told PA Sport: "We're working our way through it.
"We've been in discussions with Manchester United and I think they see it as a positive that he gets a year of Premier League football under his belt.
"I know Dean definitely wants to stay and our supporters absolutely adore him. We've got a good relationship with Manchester United and if Dean signs we'll be delighted.
"He's been outstanding since he's been at the club. He had a fantastic loan period at Shrewsbury Town (the season before) and he's kicked on and has a wonderful future ahead of him."
The Blades conceded just 41 goals in 46 league games this season, with Henderson keeping 21 clean sheets - the best tally in the division.
Sheffield United are 4/6 to be relegated next season, while they can be backed at 6/5 to avoid the drop.
