(Photo by Ash Donnellon\/Manchester United via Getty Images) <span class=\"caption\">(Image: Ash Donelon, Manchester United, via Getty Images)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Radek Vitek is determined to leave Manchester United this summer and hopes to leave Old Trafford permanently if the club secures a suitable bid. The 22-year-old played the full game in the second half of Saturday&#8217;s pre-season friendly defeat to Wrexham in Helsinki. However, the goalkeeper has since revealed that he has no intention of staying on as Senne Lamence&#8217;s replacement next season as he wants to play regularly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Vitek has spent the past two-and-a-half campaigns on loan and is hoping to secure regular first-team football for the new season after impressing with Championship side Bristol City last season. That opportunity never materialized at United, with Lamence now firmly established as the club&#8217;s first-choice goalkeeper. As a result, amid growing interest in the Czech national team player, Vitek confirmed his intention to move during this transfer window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I feel great and I&#8217;m ready to go somewhere else again, hopefully to be number one, so we&#8217;ll see,&#8221; Vitek said after the 1-0 defeat to Wrexham, in which Sam Smith scored the only goal of the game in the first half.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;At the moment I&#8217;m still here, but we&#8217;ll see. I hope so. I hope there&#8217;s some interest. I guess we&#8217;ll see when things become more concrete.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Asked whether he would prefer to go on loan from United or leave permanently, Vitek said: &#8220;To be fair, I&#8217;m ready for both. It depends on what the club wants, it depends on the options. We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>\u201cThere are several interests on the table. But we want to get the best one and we hope that happens soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>United are considering selling the young shot-stopper, who dominated Bristol City&#8217;s Player of the Year award last season, and Lamence is thought to be unlikely to replace him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>With Andre Onana already set to return on loan to Trabzonspor and Altay Vaindir also set to leave, Old Trafford could be looking for a new No. 2 goalkeeper this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!

United then acquired experienced keeper Karl Darlow on a free transfer. Vitek said last season that his stance remains unchanged, believing that regular first-team football remains important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>\u201cMy heart is still the same,\u201d he said. &#8220;I want to play. I want to play every week. That&#8217;s my goal for next season. I think we&#8217;ll see where that ends up soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve grown in the last two-and-a-half years with some loans. I&#8217;ve grown as a person and on the pitch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Vitek worked with Carrington ahead of this summer&#8217;s move and is once again benefiting from the wisdom of 40-year-old Tom Heaton and goalkeeping coach Craig Mawson to further his progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been working here with Craig for almost six years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And obviously with Tom, I&#8217;ve been with them for quite some time. They&#8217;ve been very important. Also, this preseason, that&#8217;s going to help me a lot. I&#8217;m going to be able to work with them and hopefully prepare as best as I can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"whatsapp-group \">        Join us on WhatsApp for the latest Man United news<\/p>\n<p class=\"wapp-inf\">Our community members may receive special offers, promotions, and advertising from us and our partners.
