Sam Johnstone

Sam Johnstone is a goalkeeper currently playing in Manchester United’s Under-21 team.

Youth career

Sam's progressed through the Manchester United Academy system and had loans at Oldham Athletic, Scunthorpe United and Walsall.

He started the 2013/14 season with Manchester United's Under-21 team but went on loan to Yeovil Town in August. That loan spell was cut short due to injury after one game and he returned to Manchester United until January when he joined Doncaster Rovers on loan. Despite Doncaster's relegation from The Championship, Sam's performances were recognised as being outstanding.

In October 2014, having recovered from an elbow injury, Sam rejoined Doncaster Rovers on loan. In early January 2015 the loan was extended until the end of the month but Manchester United recalled him early to allow him to join his home-town team, Preston North End, on loan for the remainder of the season.
