Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has urged his former club to swoop in and hijack Gianluigi Donnarumma’s potential move to Manchester City.
The Italian shot-stopper, who lifted the Champions League with PSG, recently confirmed his departure from the French giants after being left out of the squad for last week’s UEFA Super Cup final against Tottenham.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Rooney stressed that United should leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of Donnarumma, whom he described as one of the best in the business.
“I go back to when we had Roy Carroll and Tim Howard in goal. I don’t think there was 100 % trust from the defenders in front of the two goalkeepers. But the minute (Edwin) Van der Sar comes in and calms everything down, the defenders trust him a lot more.
“(Andre) Onana’s come in, he’s a fantastic keeper, but he certainly didn’t fill us with confidence last season.
“Donnarumma is 26, he’s one of the best keepers in the world, it’d be crazy if Man United don’t go for him. I don’t think he’s a risk.”
