Meanwhile, United and Chelsea are worried their current No1s – David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois – will leave in the summer amidst interest from La Liga giants Real Madrid.
City also have something of a dilemma on their hands, with current first-choice Claudio Bravo enduring a shocking debut season in the Premier League.

Willy Caballero still fails to inspire complete confidence, while former No1 Joe Hart‘s future is very much up in the air as he thrives on loan at Torino.
The Prem giants would be forced to shell out around £50m to land the wonderkid, with super-agent Mino Raiola guaranteed to force a high fee for his latest star.
The Italian-born Dutch agent managed to wangle the astonishing £89m transfer of Paul Pogba last summer – including a £20m cut for himself.

And with Raiola reportedly demanding a new £160,000-a-week contract for Donnarumma at the San Siro, Milan will be considering cashing in on the youngster.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, Juventus and Barcelona are just three other European giants said to be circling for the youngster in the summer window.
Donnarumma has turned out 29 times for AC Milan in Serie A this term, keeping an impressive ten clean sheets, with an average of 3.6 saves per game.
