Manchester United have agreed to send Radek Vitek on loan to League Two side Accrington Stanley for the remainder of the season.
The 20-year-old has agreed to a straight loan deal without the option to make it permanent and will become the ninth youngster to depart the club on loan this month.
The Manchester Evening News understands United and Accrington are both hopeful of having the deal signed off before the weekend so that he can be in the squad to face Forest Green Rovers on Saturday afternoon.
