Manchester United is actively seeking to enhance its goalkeeping options as the new season approaches. The club has reportedly identified Leeds United’s experienced goalkeeper, Karl Darlow, as a potential target.
According to information from The Athletic, the 35-year-old Darlow may enter free agency at the end of June, as his current contract with Leeds is set to expire. Manchester United’s management views Darlow as a suitable candidate for the backup goalkeeper position, offering reliable support during a demanding season.
However, Leeds United is determined to retain their veteran keeper and is preparing a new contract offer to Darlow in response to United’s interest. A definitive decision regarding Manchester United’s No. 2 goalkeeper is anticipated in the coming weeks, as the club moves to finalize its summer transfer plans.
This season, Darlow has appeared in 24 matches for Leeds, conceding 29 goals and registering four clean sheets. His market value is estimated at €200,000 according to Transfermarkt.
