Only three teams bettered them at the back after conceding just 39 times, Liverpool, Manchester City and United.
Speculation grew over Henderson's future after it was revealed he would not be returning to Brammall Lane.
Chelsea were one interested party but the Englishman eventually penned a long-term contract at United, putting De Gea's position in doubt.
But the Spain international has hit back at his goalkeeping rival, insisting that the two are pushing one another.

De Gea said: "Yeah maybe because I’ve been playing a lot since I was very young but right now I feel probably the best I’ve felt in my career.
“I feel very, very well and very confident and very positive and that’s very important for me.
"Now it’s time to be back to winning ways and winning trophies, that’s the most important thing for us at the moment. Like I say I feel very, very good.
“It’s great to train every day here with the coaches and the goalkeepers.
“We always try to learn from each other and try to push altogether. It’s great. If you see the training it’s really good to see the goalkeepers together.
“It’s very important to have good feelings with the other goalkeepers and the goalkeeping coaches as well. It’s great.
“We are training, like I say, very, very well – the whole department of keepers.
“We need to be at this level every day and to show the players that the keepers are feeling 100%. Now like I said we have to go for trophies.”
