His boys took one hell of a beating.

In the latest edition of the United Hour Podcast, we interview Duncan Drasdo of MUST - covering ticket prices, new stadium, INEOS and what fans should be demanding from our club.
Also, due to technical issues we couldn't put a notice up for the previous episode which was about the game against Bournemouth and other stuff. If you'd like to listen to it, click here.
Terrible mistake, will have to learn from it
Sounds harsh but from United's point of view it's not the worst thing to see him make a mistake like that. Those happen to all keepers at some point, the important thing is how they react to it. Bristol City play on Tuesday and Friday so he's got two games coming up quickly to bounce back and show he's able to not let it affect him.
Yeah it was all going a bit too well down in Bristol for him. Absolute howler. But in a way, that type of game is far more important for his development, than the numerous 8 out of 10 performances he's been putting in. How he responds to it can make or break him.
Not great for that goal
Just don’t see it in him to be honest I think he’ll make his way around Europe etc but hopefully we get a decent fee / sell on for him.

I think he's pretty great. He could go on to take Lammens' place.
That's the likeliest scenario. People used to rave about Kovar as well. Who turned out to be much worse than old Hradecky.
He lost to Norway?
Ominous news for those hoping Vitek would remain on loan indefinitely for many years to come. 
Needs to be back next season as second goalkeeper. Possible European Football and extended Carabao cup run should keep both keepers happy for next season at least.
If we are sending on loan again we should be charging £5-£10million for the season.

So he's an above average Championship keeper?
That is already better than Onana and Bayindir
That's not a high bar.
So are 99 % of keepers. We have a pretty much retired, 3rd choice in Heaton who is levels above.
That said, pleased to see him doing well.
Good again today. His distribution is average but we don’t seem to really be prioritising that at present.
Just scored an unlucky own goal, straight from a corner. 2-0 down away to Wrexham.
Injured and out until February. A shame as he was first choice there and doing really well.
Just pulled of an incredible save against Ipswich.
From the highlight, he seems to have xfactor shot stopping that were yet to see from Lammens.
Yep, and it seems reasonable that would earn him the chance to step up one level, albeit as a number two.
Albeit the first save he pushed out out to danger…
Need more aura to control his own defenders not to repeat same mistake, I guess.
The shot was blocked by the defender. It was a brilliant save.
Our cup keeper for next year?
Didn’t Lammens make a save like this just last month?
Best piece of footage of the save.
For those who watched his development over the past two seasons, how does he compare to Lammens?
I can't remember a single time when 2 GKs fighting for no1 spot has ever worked out but maybe Vitek deserves a chance next season.

It's an unbelievable save, I haven't seen his performances this season but I do remember reading that he's still highly regarded at Man Utd. He's younger than Lammens too. A Premier League loan next season would be great, if he is up to it.
If we get into Europe then there will be games to go around. Bring him back as a number two who plays cup games and Europe like Fergie used to do and see how it goes.
Learning experience tonight. Feel like you need those more than the good performances as a young keeper.
So it didn’t go well?
0-5 against Derby, wouldn't say there was a lot he could do for most of the goals. Could have been higher too.
Ah. Part of the course, yeah.
At fault for Hull's 2nd goal yesterday. Might have been distracted by the squirrel who stopped play before that
I think another loan spell next season would be more beneficial to him than playing a handful of cup games.

Playing right now against Wrexham on Sky. Wearing a scrum cap like his compatriot Cech. Just headbutted his own defender.
How did he play
