MANCHESTER UNITED have slapped a £6.5m price tag on Sam Johnstone.

The English goalkeeper has been in sensational form since going on a season-long loan to Aston Villa.

The Red Devils last week took up their 12-month contract extension option on the 24-year-old.

But he has yet to hear about Jose Mourinho’s plans for next season, and United are willing to sell for the right price.

He earns around £25,000-a-week, but is behind David De Gea in the pecking order at Old Trafford.

Johnstone wants to stay at Villa permanently as they chase promotion back to the Premier League.
