Radek Vitek has been Man Utd\u2019s biggest success story so far this season on loan, and it\u2019s not going unnoticed at Old Trafford.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A loan to Bristol City for Radek Vitek<\/a> has exceeded expectations, as he was signed as an emergency backup when their first-choice GK was injured. <\/p>\n

By January, the \u201cfirst-choice GK\u201d had left the club because Vitek made himself undroppable<\/a> in his very first loan in the Championship.<\/p>\n

That is no easy feat for a young loanee from Man Utd<\/a>, and Andy Mitten has shared an exciting update on his future. <\/p>\n

WHICH Manchester United loanee have you been most impressed by this season and why?\ud83d\udd25\u26bd\ufe0f <\/p>\n

\"Split Radek Vitek is exciting people at Man Utd<\/p>\n

The Championship can largely be regarded as the final frontier for loanees of elite clubs before their parent club gives them a chance.<\/p>\n

The way Vitek has taken to Championship football<\/a>, in a recently struggling Bristol City team no less, has been remarkable to see. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s a bona fide fan favourite<\/a>, a statistical darling, and the first name on the teamsheet<\/a> at a club already regretting having him just temporarily. <\/p>\n

Speaking on The Talk of the Devils<\/a> podcast, Mitten has now shared that his form is getting people at Man Utd extremely excited. <\/p>\n

He said: \u201cVitek has been at the club for a long, long time. Really highly rated. But unlike some of the players who\u2019ve gone out on loan, he\u2019s justifying it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s playing for a big club, Bristol City. He\u2019s playing for 25,000 every week. And I keep getting messages from people who watch him every week, which I don\u2019t. And they\u2019re like, he\u2019s absolutely brilliant.\u201d <\/p>\n

Where would YOU rank Senne Lammens right now in a top 10 of world goalkeepers? <\/p>\n

Can he be number one in the future?<\/p>\n

\"SenneGetty Images Vitek faces an interesting question at Old Trafford<\/p>\n

As good as Vitek has been, he\u2019s probably one of the few people who might have preferred United signing Emi Martinez instead of Senne Lammens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Martinez\u2019s age would have given him a clear run at the No. 1 spot at Old Trafford<\/a>, for which he faces a tough fight now. <\/p>\n

Vitek is just one year younger than Lammens, who is looking immovable from his position as the Man Utd goalkeeper<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Mitten added that it poses an interesting question for the United wonderkid ahead of the summer. <\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIf you\u2019re him, do you come in and be number two, or do you think I quite like being a goalkeeper and playing every week because he\u2019s 22 years old, he\u2019s moving in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

A minor respite for Vitek is that he\u2019s sure to be given a chance in the pre-season when Lammens will be on World Cup duty with Belgium<\/a>. <\/p>\n

If he impresses during that span, then he can make a game of his fight against Lammens for the No. 1 spot<\/a>. <\/p>\n

He could back himself and become the backup<\/a> to start with because United will also be playing more games next season, but his ideal scenario could be sealing a Premier League loan.<\/p>\n

Either way, the upcoming summer is full of big decisions for highly-rated Vitek.<\/p>\n
