Darlow joins Man Utd after Leeds exit

Manchester United have signed goalkeeper Karl Darlow on a two-year contract with an option to extend by a further season, following his departure from Leeds United. The 35-year-old Wales international's contract at Leeds expired this summer, and despite being offered a new deal, he opted to make the switch across the Pennines. Darlow finished the season as Daniel Farke's first-choice keeper at Leeds. Darlow is likely to start the season as deputy to first-choice goalkeeper Senne Lammens. With Lammens on a three-week break after Belgium's World Cup campaign, Darlow is set to play a role during Manchester United's pre-season, which begins against Wrexham on 18 July. The move is expected to lead to the exit of Turkey international Altay Bayindir from Old Trafford.
