Radek Vitek\u2019s star continues to rise with another sparkling performance on loan, as another Man Utd wonderkid starts to follow in his footsteps. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Championship is being made to look like a kid\u2019s playground by Radek Vitek<\/a> in his very first season at Bristol City. <\/p>\n

The latest performance is in contention to be his best one yet, as he put up an unbeatable goalkeeping display to earn himself a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

More encouragingly, fellow Man Utd wonderkid loanee is starting to follow in his footsteps, giving the club potentially two first-team players next season. <\/p>\n

Can he challenge Lammens? Or does he need another loan?<\/p>\n

Bristol City have failed to reach the heady heights of the early season, but it is through no fault of Vitek, who has been simply unbeatable this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From highlight saves to commanding the box<\/a>, he has become a bona fide fan favourite at Bristol City<\/a>. <\/p>\n

With the recent appointment of Roy Hodgson, he\u2019s also getting the quintessential English football experience<\/a>, and he\u2019s thriving. <\/p>\n

Vitek stood tall in Hodgson\u2019s second game in charge, a 1-0 win against Sheffield United, days after getting Hodgson off to a winning start against Charlton. <\/p>\n

Against The Blades, Vitek was kept busy, saving seven shots, touching the ball a remarkable 72 times despite being a goalkeeper, and recovering the ball 17 times. <\/p>\n

Sheffield\u2019s xG was 1.65, compared to just 0.38 for Bristol City, so the win was entirely down to Vitek\u2019s heroics, for which he was awarded the man of the match. <\/p>\n

Vitek\u2019s loan started on fire, and he has maintained those levels, while Ethan Ennis<\/a>\u2018 success at Fleetwood Town has been a pleasant surprise<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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

\"Split <\/p>\n

Ennis had a mixed bag last season at Doncaster Rovers, and Fleetwood was actually a step back for him, since he won promotion from League Two with Doncaster<\/a> last season.<\/p>\n

However, he\u2019s shown this season that he\u2019s outgrown the fourth division<\/a>, and did so again in Fleetwood\u2019s recent game.<\/p>\n

Although ten-man Fleetwood lost to Barnet 5-2 at home, Ennis emerged with his reputation enhanced, assisting one of the two goals. <\/p>\n

In addition, he created a brilliant five chances, one of which was categorised as \u201cbig\u201d. With 45 touches, five defensive contributions, and seven recoveries, it was the perfect attacker\u2019s display from Ennis. <\/p>\n

On current form, he looks good value to earn a contract extension at United and a loan to a higher division team next season. <\/p>\n

Vitek was always a contender, but Ennis could be a surprise first-team player next season. <\/p>\n
