Manchester United came calling, and Karl Darlow said no thanks.
The Leeds United goalkeeper is set to reject advances from United and instead commit his future to Elland Road, signing a new two-year contract that Leeds moved quickly to put on the table once United’s interest became known.
What happened and why it matters
Darlow joined Leeds in August 2023 from Newcastle United, signing a three-year deal for a fee of approximately £400,000.
That contract was due to expire at the end of June 2026, which technically made him a free agent and, in football terms, fair game for any club with an interest.
