Manchester United pursue Karl Darlow from Leeds United
Summary

Manchester United is planning a summer transfer for Leeds United goalkeeper Karl Darlow, who will be a free agent at the end of this month. The Red Devils aim to secure experienced backup options, as Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana are likely to leave the club. Leeds intends to retain Darlow and is expected to offer him a new contract. Darlow, a 35-year-old Wales international, made 22 Premier League appearances last season and could be attracted to United's Champions League presence. Manchester United could also consider Sam Johnstone from Wolverhampton Wanderers as an option for their goalkeeping needs.
