Radek Vitek: Hull City make big transfer call on Man United goalkeeper | OneFootball

Hull City’s position on a summer move for Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek has come to light.

Exit on the cards

United are expected to undergo a radical overhaul of their goalkeeping department this summer.

Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir are looking increasingly likely to leave after failing to make an impact since their respective arrivals three years ago.

Onana spent the 2025/26 season out on loan at Trabzonspor. The Turkish Super Lig outfit have expressed a clear desire to sign him, despite the Cameroonian’s desire to remain at United and fight for his place.

Meanwhile, Bayindir is attracting interest from Besiktas and Fenerbahce. The shot-stopper is keen on regular first-team minutes and United are prepared to let him leave.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Vitek’s future at Old Trafford is also uncertain. Vitek enjoyed a full season on loan at Bristol City last year, turning in an impressive string of performances. He kept 12 clean sheets in 41 appearances.

A subsequent report claimed that United value Vitek at just £10m. Coventry City are thought to be keen on the 22-year-old and now, the Daily Mail reveal that Hull are also eyeing him.

Vitek update

According to the news outlet, “Hull City are among the clubs circling Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek.”

“Daily Mail Sport understands that the Tigers are among several Premier League clubs interested in Vitek, along with fellow promoted sides Coventry City and Ipswich Town.”

It’s understood that United are not actively looking to sell Vitek, but his desire to be a starter, coupled with the fact that he has two years left on his contract, may ultimately force the club to offload him.

But if Vitek were to indicate a desire to put pen to paper on an extension, United could sanction another loan departure.

Vitek finds himself in an enviable position, with plenty of suitors to choose from. The icing on the cake is that Premier League clubs are leading the chase.
