Manchester United are preparing a sensational summer move for Paris Saint-Germain's Italian shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to emerging reports from France.
The potential shock transfer comes as Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag reportedly grows increasingly frustrated with current number one Andre Onana's erratic performances since his £47 million arrival from Inter Milan.
Scholes' Scathing Assessment Sparks United Action
United's interest has intensified following brutal criticism from club legend Paul Scholes, who didn't hold back in his assessment of Onana's capabilities between the posts.
Scholes declared the Cameroonian goalkeeper simply 'isn't good enough' for a club of United's stature, comments that appear to have resonated within the Old Trafford hierarchy.
Donnarumma's PSG Situation Creates Opportunity
The 24-year-old Italian international, despite being PSG's first-choice keeper, has found himself under pressure from veteran Keylor Navas this season. This has alerted United to a potential opportunity to secure one of Europe's most talented goalkeepers.
Donnarumma's proven pedigree at both club and international level, including his heroics in Italy's Euro 2020 triumph, makes him an attractive prospect for Ten Hag as he looks to build a side capable of challenging for major honours.
Summer Transfer Saga Looms
While any move would likely depend on United securing European football for next season and navigating Financial Fair Play regulations, the pursuit of Donnarumma signals ambitious intent from the Old Trafford club.
The potential arrival of the Italian giant would represent a significant upgrade and could see Onana moved on after just one season, marking a dramatic reversal in United's goalkeeping plans.
