Sam Johnstone says the Manchester United connection is allowing him to flourish at Aston Villa.
United legend Steve Bruce is the manager at Villa Park while another ex-Red Devil, Gary Walsh, is the goalkeeper coach.
Since joining the Championship club on loan from United, 24-year-old Johnstone has found himself in fine form keeping five clean sheets in the past six league matches.
"Obviously, having him [Bruce] as a manager, he was at United and has managed for a long time, so he understands everything," Johnstone told ManUtd.com.
"I am glad he was patient with me and, hopefully, I'm repaying him back with the performances, clean sheets and wins.
"Gary's the goalkeeper coach and it's the first time I've worked with him or come across him. I'm really enjoying my time working with him and the other keepers.
"Like the manager, he has played for Manchester United and knows what it is all about. That experience is something he can help me with and it's obviously a positive for all of us. He is calm and knows what he is doing."
