- Manchester United’s injury crisis worsens as loanee goalkeeper Radek Vitek suffers a serious cruciate ligament tear, sidelining him for potentially up to a year
- With six players now ruled out, manager Erik Ten Hag faces mounting pressure as he tries to navigate a challenging season
- The depth of the squad is in jeopardy, leaving fans anxious about the team’s ability to maintain their competitive edge
Manchester United’s injury woes have deepened with the news that loanee goalkeeper Radek Vitek has suffered a serious injury, adding to the club’s already lengthy list of sidelined players.
Vitek, who recently joined BW Linz in the Austrian Bundesliga, sustained a devastating tear to both his cruciate and medial ligaments during warm-ups for a crucial derby match.
The injury occurred just before Linz secured a 1-0 victory, leaving the 20-year-old Czech talent facing an extended recovery period that could last between six to twelve months.

This setback is particularly disheartening for Vitek, who was looking to make a mark following a promising loan spell at Accrington Stanley earlier this year.

Having kept two clean sheets in three games for Linz, he aimed to gain vital first-team experience to challenge for a backup role at Old Trafford upon his return.
Currently, Manchester United’s injury list includes six players, placing immense pressure on manager Erik Ten Hag.
Andre Onana, the club’s first-choice goalkeeper since his signing last year, is now flanked by Altay Bayindir, who has only made two appearances, including last night’s commanding 7-0 victory over Barnsley.
The absence of Vitek, alongside the existing injuries to key squad members, raises significant concerns about the team’s depth as they navigate a demanding schedule.
