"He is a player I am incredibly pleased to bring to the club, and one I have been enquiring about for some time.
“His talent and goal scoring abilities are clear to see as he was excellent in League One last season scoring a tonne of goals.
"We’ve started the season in great form, scoring a lot of goals and I have no doubts that Adam will make an instant impact and excite the fans.”
Armstrong, however, will not be eligible to face Newcastle at Oakwell on October 18.
The 19-year-old signed a new long-term contract at United last week.
