Radek Vitek's Bristol City Breakthrough Puts Man United Future in Focus

He says he will weigh his next step this summer after emerging as Bristol City's first-choice keeper.

Overview

  • On a season-long loan from Manchester United, the 22-year-old has started every league match for Bristol City and recorded five clean sheets.
  • Vitek has kept previous No. 1 Max O'Leary out of the side after seizing his chance when O'Leary returned from an ankle injury.
  • Bristol City sit eighth in the Championship, with manager Gerhard Struber praising Vitek as looking like an experienced keeper at this level.
  • Vitek says he is in regular contact with United's goalkeeping coach, who has attended his games to monitor progress.
  • Under contract at United until 2028, he welcomes a future opportunity to compete at Old Trafford, potentially against Senne Lammens, while acknowledging his path could lead elsewhere.
