Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is poised to rejoin Aston Villa on Monday.

The 24-year-old has been a target for a number of Championship and Premier League sides but will sign for Villa on a season-long loan.

Johnstone, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Villa Park, still has another year left on his contract at United after this one.
