Manchester United 'Considering' Surprise Move for Leeds United Man

The 35-year-old Wales international could join Manchester United on a free transfer as Leeds United prepare a new contract offer, The Athletic reported.

  • Manchester United is weighing a move for Leeds United goalkeeper Karl Darlow this summer as the 35-year-old approaches free agency, seeking an experienced backup to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
  • Under manager Daniel Farke, Darlow established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for Leeds after dislodging Lucas Perri, starting 22 Premier League games last season and helping the club retain their top-flight status.
  • United seek an experienced deputy to support Senne Lammens, as Altay Bayindir is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer; Darlow holds added value by counting towards the homegrown player quota.
  • Leeds United reportedly intends to offer Darlow a new contract to retain his services, though the club faces mounting competition from rivals including Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are considering Sam Johnstone.
  • Farke recently praised the goalkeeper, stating he holds "the highest respect for Karl," while remaining tight-lipped on transfer specifics as Darlow's Leeds contract expires at month's end.
