Man Utd Face Major Hurdle in Pursuit of Chelsea Target as PSG Exit Likely

In his latest column for PSG Talk, journalist Robin Bairner looked at possible destinations, including Manchester United.“Donnarumma tends to perform best when put under consistent pressure, so he would be a good solution behind a Man Utd defence that tends to give up a lot of shots,” Bairner wrote. “His reticence to stray far from his line may be contrary to Ruben Amorim’s philosophy, but his other abilities outweigh this problem and make him a viable option.AdvertisementAdvertisement Advertisement“So, besides a lack of European football, what’s stopping a deal? Quite simply, Financial Fair Play (FFP). Man Utd have spent heavily this summer without making any player sales. If they can seal deals for the likes of Antony, Jadon Sancho, and Alejandro Garnacho, suddenly this move becomes a whole lot likelier.”
