English Media Reacts to Former PSG Star’s Performance In Man City-Man Utd | OneFootball

After leaving PSG late in the transfer window, Gianluigi Donnarumma was in the starting 11 for Manchester City in the derby against Manchester United. Nonetheless, the former Parisian shot-stopper made a good first impression.

Donnarumma moved to Manchester City for a reported €35 million (£30.3 million). The Premier League club decided to job on the opportunity to sign a UEFA Champions League winner in his prime years to replace Ederson.

Moreover, he recently expressed his love for manager Pep Guardiola for wanting him to join their project.
