Jordan Henderson has said that he is "satisfied" with the start he has made to his Liverpool career.

The England international moved to Anfield in the summer after making a £20m switch from hometown club Sunderland.

"I think I have settled in okay. I am enjoying my time here and the lads have been brilliant, as well as the fans," Henderson told Sky Sports News.

The 21-year-old appreciates that the competition for places is fierce and is now keen to improve and secure himself a regular starting berth.

"I now need to kick on and do even better," he added

"Given the opportunity, I need to take it and make sure I stay in the team."

Liverpool host rivals and Premier League leaders Manchester United at Anfield on Saturday.
