MANCHESTER UNITED are lining up a sensational move for AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Manchester United want Gianluigi Donnarumma
That is according to Italian publication Mediaset Premium, who claim United are prepared to spend £30million on the 16-year-old stopper.
Donnarumma has caught the eye of the Red Devils after an impressive breakthrough season at the San Siro, keeping three clean sheets in 11 Serie A outings.
United will reportedly wait until the summer to make their move for the Italy Under-17 international, whose deal expires at Milan in 2018.
Donnarumma's agent, Mino Raiola, believes the youngster is already worth at least £128m after comparing him to a piece of Italian artwork.

"He has a great future. He's an extraordinary kid and everyone loves him. He's already a little champion but he can become a great one."
