A Hull City and Celtic-linked Manchester United goalkeeper could reportedly be available for around £15m
Hull City-linked goalkeeper Radek Vitek could reportedly be available to sign from Manchester United for a fee in the region of £15m.
The 22-year-old is back at Old Trafford after a stellar season on loan in the Championship with Bristol City.
He featured for the Red Devils in their 1-0 friendly defeat to Wrexham at the weekend, but has made it clear he wants regular football.

‘Realistic’ Radek Vitek price named
According to Mail Online, there have been some suggestions that a fee in the region of £15m would be a realistic offer for Vitek.
Manchester United are thought to be leaning towards a permanent exit for the stopper, something Vitek himself has admitted he is open to.
When asked if he would prefer to depart temporarily or permanently, Vitek responded: “I'm ready for both to be fair. It depends on what the club wants and also depends on the options and, yeah, we'll see.
“There's been a few interests on the table, but we're hoping to get the best one and hopefully it will happen soon. I want to play every week and that's the goal for next season. Hopefully I find out soon where that's going to be.”

Hull City’s goalkeeping department
Hull have already signed Jack Butland from Rangers but given the fact Ivor Pandur went in the opposite direction, the capture of another goalkeeper appears likely.
The Tigers have been linked with an array of stoppers, including Vitek’s compatriot Lukáš Horníček.
As it stands, Butland has competition between the sticks from Dillon Phillips, Thimothée Lo-Tutala and Harvey Cartwright.
