Manchester United have refreshed their goalkeeping options, with Sam Johnstone joining Aston Villa on loan as Joel Pereira is recalled from a similar spell at Belenenses.
Johnstone, who signed a new contract with United in October, is now expected to compete with first-choice keeper Mark Bunn as Steve Bruce bolsters his squad in the Championship.
"I'm really pleased to have joined Aston Villa - it’s a massive club," Johnstone told Aston Villa's official website.
"It's an opportunity I jumped at, it's one you simply can’t turn down. I'm delighted to be here and I can’t wait to work with Steve Bruce.
