The Manchester United goalkeeper is set to leave the club in search of playing time

0
Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek has announced his willingness to leave Old Trafford for regular game practice in the first team. With Senne Lammens firmly cementing his status as the team's number one since last September and Karl Darlow recently joining as back-up goalkeeper, the 22-year-old Czech understands the need for change going forward. The former Czech Under-21 international spent last season on loan at Championship club Bristol City, where he made 41 appearances and kept 12 clean sheets. Vitek shared his thoughts on the future after playing the second half in a pre-season friendly against Wrexham in Helsinki "I feel great and I'm ready to go somewhere again to hopefully be number 1. I hope there will be some interest. I think you'll know when things become more concrete," the player admitted. When asked why he prefers another loan or a full-fledged transfer, the goalkeeper answered quite pragmatically: "I'm open to both options, to be fair. It depends on what the club wants and the options, and yes, we'll see. There were several interested parties, but we hope to find the best one and hopefully it will happen soon. I want to play every week and that's the goal for next season," added Radek. Vitek signed a new deal with United last summer and has two years left on his contract. Joined the Mancunian academy at the age of 16 from Czech Sigma (Olomouc). Before his successful appearance in the Championship, he managed to play on loan for Accrington and Austrian BV Linz. Currently, the British media are actively linking the goalkeeper with a possible transfer to the ranks of the champions of Scotland — Celtic. We will remind, earlier.
