Carragher Praises Sheffield United Pair As He Names Team Of The Season

Jamie Carragher has praised both Dean Henderson and Chris Wilder for their contributions during a remarkable campaign for Sheffield United.

Henderson even made it into the Sky Sports pundit’s team of the season, edging out Liverpool’s Alisson, with Carragher praising the 23-year-old’s performances:

“They have got a really good defensive record, he’s kept a lot of clean sheets. I just think Sheffield United as a whole have been a breath of fresh air in the Premier League and they deserve someone to go into the team of the season.”

Carragher was equally effusive about Wilder, and although he did name Jurgen Klopp as his manager of the year, he acknowledged it was a tough decision between the German and the Blades boss:

“They could end up in the Champions League, or they could end up ninth. If they do end up in the Champions League, we will come back and do another pick, and we will give it to Chris Wilder! But at the moment, we will give it to Klopp.”

Wilders and his team will be desperately hoping that the Premier League season resumes in the not too distant future.

United are currently seventh in the table, within touching distance of the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Wolves who are directly above them in the table.

Finishing in the top four is still a realistic prospect as they could go within three points of fourth-place if they are able to win their game in hand.
