Darlow saw out the 2025/26 campaign as first-choice goalkeeper at Leeds, having dislodged £16million summer signing Lucas Perri in January.
The Welshman started 22 Premier League games, keeping five clean sheets and helping the Yorkshire side record a comfortable 14th place finish.
Leeds are pushing to renew terms as they want the 15-time capped Wales keeper to stay, though that will raise further doubts about Perri’s future.
JattvibeSport understands United have put Darlow on their shortlist of goalkeepers should Altay Bayindir be sold.

United’s current No2 has attracted interest from Turkish top-flight side Besiktas since January.
The Red Devils have agreed a new two year deal with Dermott Mee and are poised to sign teenage goalkeeper Kit Margetson as a free agent.
United confirmed on Friday that Andre Onana rejoined Trabzonspor on loan, with Ineos agreeing a £1.3m loan fee based on performances.
Everton have also come into play for Darlow as they want someone who can push Jordan Pickford further, reports the Mail.

Darlow is also believed to have held talks with Tottenham before they eventually signed Burnley free agent exit Martin Dubravka.
The Welsh international still has his pick of multiple Premier League options, albeit game-time is not guaranteed with any of those clubs.
With Darlow contemplating his next move, Leeds have also joined Aston Villa by enquiring after Parma and Japan keeper Zion Suzuki.
Meanwhile, Illan Meslier is also out of contract and hoping to sign for Arsenal.
