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.
