Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce hopes to keep hold of Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Johnstone, 24, re-joined Villa on a season-long loan from United in the summer transfer window.
He has never made a senior appearance for the Red Devils but still has another year left on his contract.
And former United captain Bruce is keen to keep Johnstone at Villa Park.
“We will do everything in our power to get him here permanently," he said.
“He is going to find it difficult at United to break through because of what they have got so we are hopeful."
