'Talented boy': 21yo Man Utd starlet set to seal loan exit after Rashford
Manchester United have reportedly agreed to another temporary departure this summer.
According to the reliable journalist Rich Fay, Man United goalkeeper Radek Vitek has agreed to join Bristol City on loan for the 2025-26 season.
The promising Czech international spent last season gaining valuable experience in Austria with Blau-Weiss Linz, where he helped the side finish a commendable sixth in the league.
Vitek impressed between the sticks, keeping seven clean sheets in 28 appearances.
Despite suffering an injury early on, he recovered and enjoyed a successful spell.
Academy goalkeeping coach Tommy Lee described the 21-year-old as a “talented boy“.
Vitek was left out of United’s pre-season squad, with the club already mapping out a loan plan to accelerate his development.
His move to Bristol City in the Championship marks a significant step up and an ideal platform to showcase his potential.
He was in attendance as Bristol City defeated Plymouth Argyle in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir have endured tough spells at United and face uncertain futures.
With other areas of the squad in dire need of reinforcements, Onana could be handed a final opportunity to prove his worth.
The Cameroon international has made high-profile errors over the last two years and it is becoming increasingly clear that United may seek a long-term upgrade.
Manager Ruben Amorim will hope that Vitek can make full use of his opportunity in the Championship and further develop his game.
United are also expected to send more academy starlets out on loan in the coming weeks to gain senior minutes.
Talented youngsters like Harry Amass, Jack Moorhouse, and Ethan Wheatley are all likely candidates for temporary moves.
Marcus Rashford was the latest player to head out of Old Trafford.
He joined Barcelona on loan, with the Catalan giants having the option to sign him permanently next season.
