Gianluigi Donnarumma's new adventure begins with a Manchester derby! Two weeks after his departure from PSG and his signature at Man City against 30 million euros, the Italian porter begins with the formation of Pep Guardiola against Man United, this Sunday afternoon (5.30 p.m., live on Canal+), at Etihad Stadium.
“Gigio”, which has played the last two games of the Italian selection against Estonia (5-0) and Israel (4-5), replaces James Trafford, relegated to the bench. To see if the 26 -year -old porter will continue next Thursday against Napoli in the Champions League, the native of Campania.
The Cityzens are deprived of Rayan Cherki but also of Omar Marmoush and Rayan Aït Nouri. Erling Haaland is thus accompanied by Phil Foden and Jérémy Doku or Tijani Reijnders and Bernardo Silva. Rodri is maintained in the eleven Mancunian, just like Abdukodir Khusanov in defense (the former Lensois had already started against Brighton on August 31).
Donnarumma holder, no change in United
On the side of the Red Devils, Ruben Amorim composes without Matheus cunha. He thus replaces Amad Diallo in the offensive trio with Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, tenured for the first time in the Premier League. Bruno Fernandes and others will try to undermine Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens, recruited for 21 million euros at the end of the summer transfer window, does not start the meeting. Turkish Altay Bayindir is maintained in the goals of Man United. Leny Yoro is present on the ground at kick -off, unlike Harry Maguire, Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, all three on the bench.
The eleven of Man City: Donnarumma – Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly – Silva, Rodri, Reijnders – Foden, Haaland, Doku.
The eleven of Man United: Bayindir – Yoro, from Ligt, Shaw – Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu -mbomo, Diallo – Sesko.
