Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is convinced his former side have made a major transfer blunder by not beating out rivals Manchester City to the bargain capture of Gianluigi Donnarumma.<\/p>\n
Having been told he was surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain, Donnarumma completed his move to City before the closure of Monday\u2019s transfer deadline day after long-serving Eihad star Ederson was sold to Fenerbahce.<\/p>\n
Donnarruma<\/a> joined Man City for a bargain fee of just \u00a326million, signing a five-year deal at The Etihad with the option of a further year.<\/p>\n United<\/a>, meanwhile, were also in the market for a new stopper on deadline day as they sought out stronger competition for under-performing duo Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.<\/p>\n The Red Devils held talks with Emiliano Martinez, even agreeing terms with the Aston Villa goalkeeper before eventually settling on the highly-rated Royal Antwerp star Senne Lammens<\/a>.<\/p>\n While Donnarumma is commonly regarded one of the world\u2019s best shot stoppers and dominant in one-on-one situations, his ability on the ball has often been questioned, something Pep Guardiola puts a lot of value in normally.<\/p>\n Old Trafford legend Scholes described Donnarumma\u2019s move to City \u2018strange\u2019, for that very reason, and feels the Italian stopper should have been Ruben Amorim\u2019s first choice target for United instead.<\/p>\n Scholes told The Overlap: \u201cI think that\u2019s a really strange signing for Pep. I love the \u2018keeper [Donnarumma], I think he\u2019s brilliant and I\u2019d have him at United tomorrow, today, whenever.<\/p>\n \u201cFor \u00a340m [the previously reported price for Donnrumma] he\u2019s unbelievable. But for Pep you\u2019ve got to almost be able to play in central midfield as a goalkeeper.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019s the reason [Luis] Enrique is getting rid of him at PSG, because he\u2019s not great with his feet. I just don\u2019t see him as a City goalkeeper.\u201d<\/p>\n Donnarumma will wear the No.25 shirt at the Etihad after he was unveiled by the club on Tuesday and could even end up facing United in the first Manchester derby straight after the current international break.<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS \u27a1\ufe0f\u00a0Free agents: The five best unattached players available in each position<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Latest Man Utd news: Antony parting shot \/ Shock striker move<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u26ab\u00a0Antony takes final swipe at Man Utd after revealing levels of Old Trafford torment<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u26ab\u00a0Shock Man Utd move to re-sign former striker revealed despite Ratcliffe concerns<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
