Neil Taylor indicates Manchester United deal done for Sam Johnstone
Neil Taylor has indicated that Manchester United have extended Sam Johnstone's contract
The 24-year-old goalkeeper is spending the season with the Championship club, who hope to snap him up on a permanent deal.
He has impressed between the sticks, conceding just 18 goals in 20 league appearances.
Johnstone’s current deal at Old Trafford expires at the end of the campaign but an option for a further season is set to be taken up.
And Taylor has indicated that Johnstone’s deal has already been extended.
"I'd like to see him here permanently — any player playing as well as that you would like to keep," Taylor said.
"But clubs like United don't extend your deal for no good reason.
"Sam can be as good as he wants — he's still a young goalkeeper.
"He should kick on from here and the sky's the limit for Sam.
"But the most important thing is he's playing football at a decent level — he's not sitting on the bench in the Premier League."
