Benitez didn’t take Tim Krul, United’s longstanding No 1, to the club’s training camp in Ireland last week.
Suggesting the two have had a fall out.
Surely Krul is the best of the bunch?
Middlesbrough have ended their interest in Darlow after signing Darren Randolph from West Ham United.
However, Jaap Stam went on to sign Vito Mannone from Sunderland.
It remains to be seen whether Krul will play any part in the club’s pre-season campaign. The 29-year-old – who had loan spells at AZ Alkmaar and Ajax last season – trained with the club’s development squad last week.
