Manchester United sign veteran goalkeeper Karl Darlow from Leeds United, completing a free transfer after his contract expires. Multiple outlets report that the 35-year-old Wales international joins the club and signs a deal running until June 2028, with an option for an additional year.

Manchester also confirms his squad number at Old Trafford, and local coverage includes Darlow’s early remarks after the move is finalized. The signing is presented as a reinforcement for United’s goalkeeping options ahead of the next season, with the club looking to strengthen depth following the end of Leeds’ deal with Darlow. Coverage also notes that United have moved to bring in another goalkeeper signing in the same transfer window, placing Darlow into manager Michael Carrick’s first-team plans. Overall reporting aligns on the key elements of the transfer: the free move from Leeds, Darlow’s Wales affiliation, and a multi-year contract structure lasting through 2028.
