Scholes’ wishful thinking for Man United…
Paul Scholes has hilariously praised Gianluigi Donnarumma’s move to Manchester City as the star signing of the transfer window, while secretly wishing Manchester United had nabbed the Italian shot-stopper instead. It’s rumored that the fee of £27 million was so good that even Santa Claus considered delivering Donnarumma to Old Trafford on his next sleigh ride. Liverpool may have splurged a record £446m on stars like Alexander Isak, but it was Donnarumma’s switch that tickled Scholes’ fancy. His tongue-in-cheek Instagram post celebrated the goalkeeper’s transfer, humorously mentioning Salford City’s 14 signings.
Scholes mused that despite loving Donnarumma’s skills and wishing for his arrival at United, it’s a “strange signing” for Pep. Picture this: Scholes imagines Guardiola might have Donnarumma audition for a role in the midfield, juggling oranges during practice sessions. This supposedly aligns perfectly with the coach’s love for goalkeepers who can dribble like Messi. With Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir having bumpy starts at United, Scholes dreams of Donnarumma in a Red Devil’s jersey, while City makes the baffling leap of their own. Meanwhile, Donnarumma is set to replace Ederson and is revving up for his Manchester derby debut. A spectacle sure to entertain as he steps onto the pitch like a superhero ready to save a bus full of kittens.
