Manchester United's goalkeeper, Radek Vitek, has inked a fresh contract with the club, extending until June 2027. However, he's set for a loan spell for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.

The 20-year-old will join League Two's Accrington Stanley for competitive fixtures, aiming to boost his development under John Coleman's guidance. While Vitek hasn't made his senior debut, he's been on the first-team bench thrice this season.

Being part of the FA Youth Cup-winning squad, Vitek's loan move aligns with United's strategy to provide young talents with valuable playing time. His loan stint marks the ninth for United this month, joining fellow players on loan like Rhys Bennett, Alvaro Fernandez, Dan Gore, Hannibal, Joe Hugill, Maxi Oyedele, Jadon Sancho, and Donny van de Beek.

United extends their best wishes to Vitek for a successful loan spell, emphasizing their commitment to nurturing talent and fostering player development.
