MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left green with envy as footage emerged of on-loan goalkeeper Radek Vitek making a sensational save for Bristol City.
The Red Devils have endured a torrid start to the season between the sticks.
Altay Bayindir has struggled through their Premier League games, while Andre Onana was woeful in the penalty shoot-out defeat at Grimsby in mid-week.
SunSport exclusively revealed that some United stars even want veteran third-choice stopper Tom Heaton, 39, to be given ago over Bayindir and Onana.
Meanwhile, United youngster Vitek has enjoyed a quietly impressive start to the season at Ashton Gate.
Having previously had loans at Accrington Stanley and in Austria, the 21-year-old signed up to spend the 2025-26 season at Bristol City.
The Robins have had a strong start to the season and are unbeaten in their first four league games under new boss Gerhard Struber.
During yesterday’s 4-2 win over Hull City, Vitek caught the eye with a sensational one-handed save at full stretch to deny Tigers striker Oli McBurnie.
When Bristol City posted a clip of the incredible stop, one United fan wrote: “How about you take Onana and we have Vitek back?”
While a second demanded: “Call him back immediately.”
A third joked: “We should recall Vitek and send Onana to Azkaban.”
Vitek has been on United’s bench for matches in the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League.
But he is yet to make his first team debut for Amorim’s side.
The Red Devils are keen to sign a new goalkeeper prior to Monday’s transfer deadline.
Club chiefs have been in talks to sign Senne Lammens from Belgian side Antwerp.
While a fresh approach has been made for Aston Villa stopper Emi Martinez.
