Transfer News: Manchester United could take advantage of Gianluigi Donnarumma situation at AC Milan
According to transfer news from Express, Manchester United could take advantage of the Gianluigi Donnarumma situation at AC Milan. It has been said that the keeper was left in tears after being confronted by fans over a switch to Juventus.
Donnarumma has been in the news, with his contract set to end this season and no extension being agreed. That attracted the attention of clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea, who wanted to sign the keeper on a free transfer at the end of the season.
There have been some new developments in the saga. There were reports of the player moving to arch-rivals Juventus in the summer, which escalated the tension and anger among the fans.
The Ultras had visited the Milanello complex and threatened the 22-year-old Italian keeper. They warned him not to play against Juventus – a game which would be of massive significance in the Serie A top-four race.
Due to the events, technical director Paolo Maldini has decided to hold off a new contract at least until the season ends. That gives Manchester United a good chance to slip in and take advantage of the situation he is facing at the club.

The Red Devils are also set to revamp their goalkeeping department this summer. Sergio Romero looks set to leave while David de Gea’s future is also far from certain.
While it could mean that Dean Henderson could take over as the club’s No.1, the chance to snare Donnarumma is enticing. The Italian is one of the best young players in his position and to get a player of his profile and experience for free is rare.
