Manchester United sign goalkeeper Karl Darlow

sportsJul 14, 20264099

Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Karl Darlow on a two-year contract with the option of a further season, the club confirmed. The 35-year-old Wales international left Leeds after his contract expired this summer; Leeds said he declined a new deal to pursue a different opportunity. Darlow played 279 club games and has 15 international caps, and finished last season as Daniel Farke's first-choice keeper at Leeds. Manchester United expect Darlow to serve as deputy to first-choice Senne Lammens, who will take a three-week break following Belgium's World Cup run, meaning Darlow is likely to feature in pre-season, starting with the friendly against Wrexham in Helsinki on 18 July. The move is expected to increase the chances of an exit for Turkey international Altay Bayindir, who was linked with Besiktas in January. Darlow said he was "extremely proud to sign for Manchester United" and looked forward to competing with the club's goalkeeping group to maintain high standards.

Leeds United have confirmed Karl Darlow will not be signing a new contract with the club. Last week, @lauriewhitwell.bsky.social and @paddyboyland.bsky.social reported Manchester United were close to signing the goalkeeper. #lufc

Karl Darlow's song choice for his farewell message to Leeds United includes the line 'don't say you won't forgive me 'cos you always do.' Not so sure about that, but he's paid tribute to the club he's opted to leave for a Man Utd move. #lufc www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/footba...

That’s a new haircut worthy of playing for Scum though. Fits right in with that lot straight away 🙄 #LUFC can get better

He can fuck right off tbh

Well, that's a little presumptuous from Mr Darlow...

Wonder if we should've offered him no.1 for a couple of years? He was solid last season and while the recruitment team have earned our trust, the one exception to that is the position of goalkeeper. They need to get it right this time!

Fuck Karl Darlow. “The United Chapter Begins”. You’ve played for two Uniteds before you prick. The good news is we will be forced to upgrade our goalkeepers.

With Karl Darlow gone, that leaves Cairs as the only player left in the squad that's older than me & that's only by 2 months, this is an utterly depressing stage of life
