Donnarumma made his debut in Manchester City's 3-0 win over Manchester United, keeping a clean sheet. This performance will not help Trafford's chances of becoming the team's first-choice goalkeeper.

Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given expressed sympathy for Trafford's situation. Given said that Trafford had been heavily linked with Newcastle United, and could have made a move there if he wanted to.

Given praised Trafford's abilities, saying that he is a brilliant goalkeeper. He also suggested that Trafford was misled by Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, who promised him regular playing time and a chance to play for England in the World Cup.

Newcastle United did sign a new goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale, and have kept three clean sheets in their first four Premier League games. Trafford will likely be looking on in envy as he waits for more game time under Guardiola.

It's worth noting that Trafford was given the number one jersey at Manchester City, which suggests that he was meant to be the team's first-choice goalkeeper. However, promises and guarantees are not always kept in football, and Trafford's situation is a good example of this.
