The Red Devils were left without winners 3-0 at Kenilworth Road thanks to a Juan Mata penalty and two late goals from Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood.
However, the game could have gone in a very different direction if Henderson he didn’t pull off a great save with only ten minutes remaining.

Since then, he has committed his long-term future to the Old Trafford club by sign a new contract.
