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 and are hopeful of getting a deal done in time.

While a fresh approach has been made for Aston Villa stopper Emi Martinez.
