Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has admitted that he cannot "wait around forever" to be given an opportunity at Manchester United.
Johnstone has spent the last 15 years at Old Trafford but the Englishman is yet to make a senior appearance for the North-West giants, instead representing six different clubs out on loan.
The 25-year-old has made 41 outings in the Championship for Aston Villa this season, and the stopper has acknowledged that he may have to take his chances elsewhere.
Johnstone told The Guardian: "If you leave, then the one downside is that you haven't done that despite being there since you were 10.
"I'd have liked to have done it, but you've got the world's best goalkeeper, David de Gea, at the club and you can't wait around forever."
Johnstone's contract at United expires at the end of the current campaign.
