Crystal Palace have joined the battle for Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

The Mirror says Palace have joined the race for Johnstone to leave Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce with a major headache.

Bruce wanted 6ft 3in Manchester United shot-stopper Johnstone, 24, back on loan at Villa Park next season.
