Manchester United fans singled out Radek Vitek during the second half of the pre-season fixture against Championship side Wrexham on Saturday.

Michael Carrick altered his entire Manchester United XI after the half-time whistle, with the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount all making way.

The 44-year-old Manchester United manager’s second-half changes saw several Red Devils players from the youth academy have their chance to shine in the match.

Man Utd’s visit to the Helsinki Olympic Stadium marked the start of the summer tour after Michael Carrick’s men had been out of action since the end of last season.

Man Utd fans dropped their feelings about the display from Radek Vitek after the Wrexham encounter in Finland

Posting on X, Manchester United fans are convinced that Radek Vitek is the ‘real deal’ and are keen for the Red Devils not to fumble their next decision over him.

One Red Devils supporter wrote: “Vitek is a very good player. Hope we don’t cash in.”

Another Man Utd fan added: “Vitek looks like a very accomplished keeper; if we do sell him this summer, I’d be putting a buy-back clause in.”

While a third posted: “Vitek is the real deal, isn’t he?”

“Vitek is going to be a really good goalkeeper, whether he stays at United or leaves. I rate him very highly,” a fourth suggested.

Someone else said: “Very stupid business if we don’t add a buy-back clause on Vitek if we sell him.”

“We can’t sell Vitek. So much potential there,” a sixth X user claimed.

And a seventh commented: “In another world, Vitek would be coming in to be the [No] #1 for United. He’s unfortunate [not to be].”

“We [had] better not sell Vitek,” another argued.
