Manchester United has Onana and Bayindir, for the post of goalkeeper, but Wayne Rooney thinks I'm not the right thing. Ona was gathering on several occasions last season, Bayindir in the first stage of the new season, at the void of Victoria's Arsenal.
As a result, a great striker of the “red devils” publicly asked the club leaders to bring Gianluigi Donnarumma. The goalkeeper with whom PSG conquered the Champions League, last season, was passed on the dead line by coach Luis Enrique because he refused to extend under the club's conditions.
Wayne Rooney: “I see no risk”
In the show “Wayne Rooney Show”, United's former star pointed out: “Yes, I think we have to focus on bringing him. Donnarumma is 26 years old, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world-it would be crazy if Man United does not take him. I see no risk of him.”

Rooney recalled the uncertainties of the past: “I think of Roy Carroll and Tim Howard. There was never a 100% confidence in them, but when Edwin van der Sar entered. Everything calmed down. The defenders had full confidence. And André Onana is a fantastic goalkeeper, but last year.”
Manchester City has a total agreement with Gianluigi Donnarumma
What Rooney had probably not learned is that Rival Manchester City took it before United. According to the specialist in Transfers Fabrizio Romano, Pep Guardiola already has a total agreement with Donnarumma, and the presenters of the Italian goalkeeper were at Manchester to negotiate the contract.
Romano claims that City is just waiting for Ederson's sale in Galatasaray to define the purchase of the PSG goalkeeper. The Parisians want 50 million euros in exchange for it, Guardiola offered 30 million, but it is expected to float and the parties could clap somewhere at 40 million.
