Radek Vítek, born on 24 October 2003 (age 22), is a Czech goalkeeper on the books at Manchester United, where he wears squad number 40. At an imposing 6ft 6in (1.98m), he has the frame expected of a modern goalkeeper, though the meaningful senior evidence so far has come away from Old Trafford.
His most substantial spell has been with Bristol City, where he made 41 league appearances in a single season. That is the period that gives his career its shape at this stage: regular football, week-to-week responsibility, and a proper body of work rather than the usual promise attached to a young goalkeeper at a large club.
Before that, Vítek’s busiest league campaign came at Blau-Weiss Linz in 2024-25, when he played 26 times. It was another useful stretch of senior football, but Bristol City remains the heavier entry on his record.
His current market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt. For now, Vítek’s career is that of a developing Czech goalkeeper tied to Manchester United, with Bristol City providing the clearest measure of where he stands.
