DONNARUMMA’S “SHOCK MOVE” TO MANCHESTER UNITED?
No Evidence to Back the Viral Claims
Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, widely regarded as one of the finest in the world, has once again been thrust into the transfer spotlight.
A sensational story has been circulating online claiming that the Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper was personally informed by Manchester United’s board of his medical date at Old Trafford.
According to these viral posts, Donnarumma supposedly admitted he was left “shocked” and even suggested he had made sacrifices to become part of Rúben Amorim’s project at United.
However, after reviewing reliable outlets and transfer sources, there is no credible evidence to support this report.
None of the established media—such as BBC Sport, Sky Sports, or The Athletic—have confirmed Donnarumma making such statements, nor has Manchester United announced anything about scheduling a medical for the Italian goalkeeper.
What’s Actually Happening
Here’s what has been confirmed:
Manchester City are currently in advanced talks with PSG regarding Donnarumma. Several reports indicate that Pep Guardiola’s side are closer to reaching an agreement, with negotiations focused on final details and transfer fee.
Donnarumma has been excluded from PSG’s UEFA Super Cup squad, which strongly suggests he could be on the move in the near future. Still, this does not point directly to Manchester United.
While United’s name has been linked with Donnarumma in the past, the latest reporting shows the club are not prioritizing him right now.
Their focus under Amorim appears to be strengthening other positions, and insiders suggest there has even been pushback within the club about committing to such a high-profile, expensive goalkeeper deal.
Other top clubs—including Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and even Real Madrid—have been loosely connected to Donnarumma’s situation. But again, no official confirmation has been made about where he will end up
The Rumor vs. Reality
The idea of Donnarumma in United red is undoubtedly exciting for fans, and many social media users have been buzzing with comments like “Onana out, Donnarumma in” or “This is how dynasties are built.” Yet, at this stage, such talk remains speculation.
The dramatic narrative about him being surprised with a medical date by Manchester United officials appears to be unverified and possibly fabricated for online engagement.
