Aston Villa have won the chase to sign Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone on loan with Jose Mourinho recalling Joel Pereira from top-flight Portuguese club Belenenses as cover.
Villa manager Steve Bruce has targeted a new stopper since taking over from Roberto Di Matteo in October.
Mark Bunn replaced Italian Pierluigi Gollini for Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Cardiff that left them 12th in The Championship.
Johnstone, 23, hasn't played a first-team game for United but has impressed during loan spells with Doncaster and Preston, and was wanted by a number of clubs including Sunderland in the current transfer window.
