Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has failed to impress his new club whilst on international duty.
Donnarumma joined Man City on deadline day after four years at French club PSG, where he won the Champions League last season.
After a clean sheet against Estonia, Donnarumma conceded four goals against Israel in a 5-4 win for Italy, which keeps them within three points of Norway at the top of their group.

Donnarumma though was fortunate that he did not concede a goal after just five minutes from an Israel corner.
A Man United fan mocked Donnarumma for being “the new Onana” of the Premier League on social media.
