Manchester United target expected to sign new contract after his birthday - manager
AC MILAN goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma will not be joining Manchester United this summer, according to manager Vincenzo Montella.
Donnarumma has been heavily backed to join Manchester United at the end of the season.
Real Madrid continue to monitor David De Gea, leading to United's interest in the 17-year-old.
Madrid themselves have been linked with a move for Donnarumma if their bid to sign De Gea fails.

But Milan boss Montella reckons his star asset will sign a new deal after his 18th birthday on February 25.
"We have to wait for him to reach 18 years old then I think Milan will renew his deal," Montella said.
"He loves Milan and I am so happy to have him."
