Reason Man Utd didn’t bid for £26 Gianluigi Donnarumma explained.
Manchester United opted against pursuing Gianluigi Donnarumma before the summer transfer window closed.
Manchester United opted to sign Senne Lammens instead of pursuing Gianluigi Donnarumma because the Champions League winner would have demanded a huge salary, according to reports. The Red Devils prised Lammens away from Royal Antwerp on transfer deadline day as they shelled out just over £18million to secure his services, with Donnarumma joining Manchester City in a £26m deal instead.
United were in the market for a new goalkeeper as they attempted to solve their woes in between the sticks. Andre Onana has lost his place as the Red Devils’ first-choice keeper, with Altay Bayindir starting his side’s first three Premier League matches of the campaign. Both keepers have been guilty of making errors this term, with Onana at fault for both of Grimsby’s goals when United were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by the League Two outfit last month.
