Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant has spoken of his disappointment that Cumbrian team-mate Dean Henderson has missed out on England's Euro 2020 run.

The Whitehaven star was in Gareth Southgate's squad for the tournament but had to pull out early into England's campaign with injury.

Henderson's place was taken by Aaron Ramsdale as the ex-Carlisle United academy keeper's tournament hopes were dashed.

It has left Henderson, 24, a spectator as the Three Lions have marched to the semi-finals.

Grant, after signing a new deal at Old Trafford, praised the Man Utd players currently invovled, with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw starring against Ukraine on Saturday and Marcus Rashford coming off the bench - but spared a thought for Henderson.

"I'm delighted for all of the guys involved," Grant told the Man Utd website.

"It's disappointing that Dean hasn't been able to remain a part of the camp, especially seeing how hard he worked during the course of the season to be involved and to put himself in contention actually for a starting place, at one point, I would say."

Henderson had to withdraw from the England squad with a hip problem, saying he was "devastated" but wished his international team-mates well for the rest of the tournament.

He is expected to be fit to compete for his place in the Man Utd side for the start of the 2021/22 Premier League season.

The west Cumbrian star ousted David de Gea from the side last term, while they have been joined by Tom Heaton in Man Utd's goalkeeping ranks.

The experienced Grant added: "Whether it’s David, Dean, Tom, myself, we’ll all be pushing to play and excited and ready to support the one that is playing.

"What we are fortunate with here at Manchester United is that we’ve got four characters that are able to get along and co-exist, which is not always the case.

“We're fortunate that we are able to do that to a very high standard. What that does allow us to do is to push each other and genuinely and authentically push and challenge each other on the training ground.

“I think that’s one of the reasons that the club has decided to keep me around – because I help to do that as well. Challenge younger guys, push and make sure that the levels are really high for whoever is playing at the weekend.”
