History maker rejects January transfer to Manchester United

AC Milan

The 16 year old goalkeeper made his Serie A debut last month and is the youngest ever debutant in the League’s history. The towering Italian keeper has been likened to the world superstar Gianluigi Buffon.

According to talksport, Manchester United were tracking the Milan keeper for several months and were prepared to make a move in January.

Donnarumma was being looked at as a potential successor to David De Gea. The Spaniard wanted to leave Old Trafford last summer and although his move to Real Madrid never materialised, it is unlikely that he has given up on his dream just yet.
