Manchester United targets Karl Darlow amid goalkeeper uncertainty
Summary

Manchester United is pursuing goalkeeper Karl Darlow of Leeds United as they anticipate potential departures of Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir this summer. Onana, who played last season at Trabzonspor, aims to return but may not get the chance after United's Senne Lammens emerged as the starting keeper. Reports indicate that Darlow, who became Leeds' number one last season, might sign a new two-year contract with Leeds, complicating United's plans. United is also considering Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and has secured Tom Heaton's contract extension as they navigate their goalkeeping options.
