The player coming from Swindon Town was given the coveted number nine shirt for United taking over from former Striker Jermaine Beckford. Paynter picked up an injury in United's pre-season campaign which ruled him out for the rest of the campaign and for the first three months of the 2010-11 season.

Johnson returned to Leeds and has since established himself as one of Grayson's first choices for one of United's midfield spots. Simon Grayson the United manager initially brought in George McCartney on a months loan from Sunderland on the 23rd September, 2010. On the 4th October it was announced that the loan deal would be extended for two days so he could play in the Championship game against Cardiff City.
