What a signing this would be.

Manchester United are favourites ahead of Manchester City to sign AC Milan's £40m-rated goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer, according to the Mirror.

Donnarumma has emerged as one of the hottest young goalkeepers in the world since making his first team debut last season aged just 16.

The youngster turned 18 at the weekend and has already made over 50 appearances for the Italian giants and twice for the Italian national side.

Mourinho is said to be looking at the starlet as a contingency plan in case David De Gea leaves Old Trafford in the summer.

The report states that United scouts have been watching Donnarumma all season and United are in pole position ahead of their noisy neighbours to secure a deal for the £40m-rated keeper at the end of the season.

Man City could provide stiff competition though with Pep Guardiola still in need of a top class 'keeper with Claudio Bravo having a nightmare debut season, Willy Caballero untrusted and Joe Hart exiled in Torino.

Next up for Manchester United is a visit from struggling Bournemouth in the league. The home side are unsurprisingly favourites at 1/4 whilst The Cherries are priced at 11/1. The draw is 11/2.
