Wayne Rooney is adamant that Manchester United should be in for Gianluigi Donnarumma with the goalkeeper's time at PSG looking to be up amid talk of a new No 1 arriving at the club
Wayne Rooney insists Manchester United "would be crazy" not to make a move for Gianluigi Donnarumma as Ruben Amorim is urged to go into the transfer market for a new No 1.
Altay Bayindir started for the Red Devils in their Premier League opener and it was his error that led to the winning goal for Arsenal in the first-half. He stepped in for regular No 1 Andre Onana, who too has not convinced during his two years at Old Trafford.
There has been talk of United going after a new shotstopper this summer and Donnarumma is a man on the market after falling out of favour at PSG. The Italian has just claimed the Champions League with the French side but is now looking to quit the club.
United, as well as neighbours Manchester City, are both looking to make moves and Rooney insists it would be a massive missed opportunity if those at Old Trafford didn't try and land Donnarumma.
He said on his podcast: "Donnarumma, I think he's 26, he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world, it would be crazy if Man United don't go for him."
Rooney also believes the Euro 2020 winner would be a guarantee, even if he brings with him hefty wage demands. "I don't think he's a risk. I saw a stat the other day - the errors leading direct to goals. His was zero," said the ex-United star.
Ruben Amorim currently has Bayindir, Onana and Tom Heaton on his books. The latter is a veteran whilst question marks hang over the other two. Rooney admitted the Cameroon goalkeeper "certainly didn't fill us with confidence last season" after making numerous errors.
The United boss though has rejected suggestions he needs to go into the market for a new goalkeeper. Gary Neville is among those adamant that they need a new No 1 but Amorim believes Sunday's clash with Arsenal proves they can win Premier League games with their current crop of shotstoppers.
He said he was "happy with the three goalkeepers" before adding: "I think we prove today that we can win any game in the Premier League, especially against a great team like Arsenal and we were the better team. So Iβm happy with the players."

They are talking as if they won the Arsenals game OMG Man united has become a joke .
Even though they won but united is sure of something better. Luck was on gunners. Meet us and you will regret meeting united. Ask gunner if they didnβt pack the bus from the beginning to the end. We no how strong they are with possession football

I must agree. Though it is against my interests, Manu requires a great goal stopper. It is a must.
