Karl Darlow’s former Newcastle United teammates have congratulated him on his move to Manchester United.
Darlow joined Leeds from Newcastle in July 2023 and made 38 appearances in total, 24 of which came last season as he established himself as their number one goalkeeper during the second half of the campaign to help them retain their Premier League status.
The 35-year-old turned down a new contract at Leeds in favour of moving to Old Trafford, a switch that has sparked anger among the Elland Road faithful given their bitter rivalry with Man United.
