Henderson signed a new five-year contract at Liverpool on Monday to keep him at the club until he is 33.
The England international was one of the topics of discussion on talkSPORT this morning, with Quinn presenting alongside former Scotland striker Alan Brazil.
Quinn was asked which of Liverpool’s Premier League rivals would Henderson walk into the starting XI of.
And the pundit claimed the 28-year-old was better than Manchester United’s new signing Fred and Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera.
Yeah I definitely think he’d get in the United team

“Yeah I definitely think he’d get in the United (team),” Quinn said.
“They’ve been struggling. (In place of) Fred. I mean what’s he done? He got bombed at the weekend (against Burnley), he hasn’t settled in.
“I think he’s better than Herrera. (Nemanja) Matic? No I think Matic is probably (better), he’s proved he’s a better player, he’s won Premier Leagues.”
Quinn also thinks Henderson would start at both Tottenham and Arsenal.

But he admitted Fernandinho would keep him out of the team at Manchester City.
“Spurs? Yeah,” Quinn continued.
“Well he got in front of (Eric) Dier at the World Cup so in my book he’d be in front of Eric Dier in Spurs’ team.
“City, who’s in there? Fernandinho, again he’s won Premier Leagues hasn’t he, so you’ve just probably got to give it to him, just to edge him.
