Matěj Kovář

Matěj Kovář's path is the goalkeeper version of paying your dues. Manchester United signed him from Slovácko in 2018, then sent him out on loan to Swindon, Burton, and Sparta Prague, the unglamorous circuit where keepers actually learn to manage real games. The payoff was a move to PSV in the Eredivisie and a place in the Czech national team. What strikes me is how patient the goalkeeper position demands you be; United's pecking order was never going to clear easily, so he found his minutes elsewhere and made the smart jump. At his age, the best years are likely still ahead.
