Manchester United star asks for summer transfer in shock interview: 'There is interest' | OneFootball

Wantaway says he is open to a loan or permanent sale

Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek has revealed he wants to leave the club this summer in a frank interview.

The Czech is yet to make a competitive first-team appearance for United despite first signing for the club in 2020.

He first joined up with United’s academy set-up and has since spent time on loan at Accrington Stanley, Bristol City and in Austria with FC Blau-Weiß Linz.

Vitek played the second half of United’s 1-0 friendly defeat by Wrexham on Saturday, keeping a clean sheet in his time on the pitch, but made the surprise revelation at full-time that he is prepared to leave the club.

“I feel great and ready to go again. Someday I hope to be a No1,” he told reporters in the mixed zone.

Belgium international Senne Lammens is comfortably established as United’s first-choice goalkeeper at the moment. The free signing of Karl Darlow earlier this month and Tom Heaton’s contract extension, meanwhile, have effectively killed Vitek’s chances of playing a role in the first-team this coming season.

Vitek continued, saying he had no preference between a loan move and a permanent exit from Old Trafford as he chases regular playing time.

“I am ready to go for both, to be fair,” he went on. “Depends what the club wants, depends on the options, we’ll see.

“There is interest on the table, but we are hoping to get the best one.

“My mind is the same, I want to play every week, that is the goal for next season. I think hopefully we will find out soon where that is gonna be.

“I think I have grown in the past two and a half years, I’ve been on a few loans. I have grown person-wise, and on the pitch as well. I feel ready before the season for a loan.”
