My Take
Dean Henderson is one of those goalkeepers who always felt like he had the talent to be England's first-choice stopper, but his career path has been anything but smooth. Coming up through Manchester United's academy after joining from Carlisle United in 2011, he spent years proving himself on loan — Sheffield United was where he really announced himself, putting in performances that genuinely made you think he could challenge David de Gea. The problem was timing and opportunity never quite aligned at Old Trafford, and eventually he moved on to Crystal Palace, where he's become club captain. That captaincy says a lot — you don't hand the armband to someone who isn't respected in the dressing room. He's still very much in the England conversation, and at 27 he has plenty of time to cement a legacy he's clearly been building toward his whole career.
