GETTY Aberdeen are plotting a loan move for Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone

Johnstone has still to make his United bow, but has spent time at Oldham, Yeovil, Scunthorpe, Doncaster and Preston. The 23-year-old knows he is unlikely to be involved in top team action under Jose Mourinho, with David De Gea and Sergio Romero in front of him.

And Pittodrie boss Derek McInnes is hoping Dons legend Ferguson can help persuade Johnstone to make the move. He has made a new keeper a priority after he released Scott Brown and sent Adam Collin back to Rotherham. McInnes was keen to land Ryan Allsop from Bournemouth but that collapsed when the Premiership side offered him a new deal. Danny Ward proved a big success last season when he arrived from Liverpool for the first half of the season. But any hopes of him returning look remote as he looks likely to join English Championship side Huddersfield Town on loan.
