QPR, Reading head list of clubs keen on Man Utd keeper Johnstone

Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is reportedly the subject of interest from no less than six English clubs.

The Daily Mail is reporting the former England U-20 international is being courted by Queens Park Rangers, Reading, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bristol City, Huddersfield Town and Preston North End.

It is understood Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal is happy to let the 22-year-old leave Old Trafford in January, with David de Gea and Sergio Romero occupying the top two spots in United's goalkeeping stocks.

Former Preston and Doncaster Rovers loanee Johnstone has been part of United's matchday squad on seven occasions this season but is yet to pull on the gloves for van Gaal.
