Man Utd identify two new transfer targets as Michael Carrick braced for exit - The Mirror Manchester United are open to selling Radek Vitek(Image: Jasper Wax/Getty Images) The Red Devils want to sign an experienced shot-stopper to support Senne Lammens, with Andre Onana seemingly having no future at Old Trafford and Altay Bayindir available for transfer. Academy graduate Radek Vitek is due to return to United for pre-season training after impressing on loan at Bristol City, but the Czech has made it clear that he doesn't want to play second fiddle. The Mail add that United would only be willing to send Vitek out on loan again if he commits to a new deal. That's why United are exploring moves for Darlow and Johnstone. Again newsletter In fact, Johnstone is a product of United's academy, although he never made a first-team appearance before leaving in 2018 - seven years after making his professional debut out on loan. After 15 years and seven loan moves, Johnstone made the decision to quit United while David de Gea remained at the peak of his powers. "Of course leaving United was a tough call, but when you've done your loans, banked the experience and David De Gea is still there at No.1 every time you return, you can't wait around forever," he explained in 2021.
