He started in the victories over Club América and San Jose Earthquakes (playing the entire game) and came on as a second-half substitute against Barcelona in a 3–1 victory.{{citation needed|date=June 2021}}

After rumours of De Gea's potential transfer Real Madrid caused the Spaniard to be dropped from the Manchester United squad, Johnstone was named on the bench behind Sergio Romero for the first game of the season against Tottenham Hotspur.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33744640 |title=Man Utd 1–0 Tottenham |first=Alistair |last=Magowan |website=BBC Sport |date=8 August 2015 |access-date=9 August 2015}} After De Gea returned to the United first-team, following the collapse of his move, Johnstone failed to make the bench again in 2015.{{citation needed|date=June 2021}}

On 31 December 2015, he re-signed for Preston on an initial 28-day loan, after Sunderland recalled Jordan Pickford on the same day.{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35205668 |title=Sam Johnstone: Man Utd keeper returns to Preston on loan |website=BBC Sport}} He made his first appearance of his second stint at Preston in a 2–1 home win over Rotherham United on 2 January 2016.

However, the following season, Sam Johnstone helped the club gain automatic promotion to the Premier League for the 2020–21 season. Despite some criticism from fans, Johnstone kept his place as West Brom's first-choice goalkeeper and went on to have a great season despite the club being relegated that year. Sam Johnstone produced a number of 'world class' saves throughout the season, securing vital points for the club on numerous occasions. On 15 December 2020, Johnstone produced two stoppage-time saves to deny İlkay Gündoğan and Raheem Sterling to secure a 1–1 draw for the club away at the home of future Premier League Champions, Manchester City.{{cite news |last=Flood |first=George |date=15 December 2020 |title=Man City 1–1 West Brom: Johnstone preserves shock point for Baggies |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/manchester-city-vs-west-brom-result-premier-league-2020-sam-johnstone-b327575.html |newspaper=Evening Standard |location=London |access-date=2 June 2021}} Johnstone also played well against former club Manchester United and reigning champions Liverpool, securing 1–1 draws against both.{{Cite web |date=14 February 2021 |title=Watch: Sam Johnstone makes incredible fingertip save v Man Utd to recuse point for Baggies |url=https://strettynews.com/2021/02/14/video-sam-johnstone-makes-incredible-fingertip-save-v-man-utd-to-recuse-point-for-baggies/ |website=Stretty News |access-date=2 June 2021}} His fine form resulted in a trio of club awards at the end of the season, winning the Supporter's Player of the Year, Player's Player of the year and PFA Community Champion Award for his work off the field.
