While the Englishman will undoubtedly get plaudits for his man-of-the-match-worthy display, United fans will take delight in what he did after the game.
In typical Henderson fashion, he went around the City Ground soaking up the admiration from Forest fans and had a gesture or two for Liverpool fans who had traveled.
Henderson, in a cheeky dig at the Liverpool fans, pumped his fist in the air jubilantly while smirking at the seething Liverpool fans.
He pointed at them and showed them the middle finger twice while sneering and smirking in delight at their misfortune.

The academy graduate will have certainly pleased some United fans who will have no empathy for their bitter rivals’ brutal downfall.
If Henderson continues performing as he did today, he will force Erik ten Hag to give him a look-in when his loan spell with Forest comes to an end.
With the future of David de Gea in doubt, there is a chance for him to stake a claim in the side.
