"Trafford must have thought he was joining to become Pep Guardiola's number one, but it hasn't worked out that way. Fans on the lookout for how to buy Manchester City vs Newcastle tickets will likely be aware that they'll see Gianluigi Donnarumma lining up for their team in this Premier League clash, with Trafford limited to cup games so far ever since Donnarumma also joined in the summer."
""I didn't expect the situation [with Donnarumma] to happen but it happened, so just get on with it. So it's happened so I work very hard every day and see what happens, give it my best shot, he said, as quoted by the Guardian. So it is what it is. It's football, you've got to keep grafting every day and the games that come, play as hard as you can. This is just another experience to add to my career and it has been a good learning experience.""
James Trafford joined Manchester City from Burnley in the summer but has been restricted mainly to cup appearances after Gianluigi Donnarumma became the club's first-choice goalkeeper. Trafford featured in the FA Cup win over Salford City and described the season as a difficult period that he is treating as a learning experience. The England Under-21 goalkeeper had hoped for more playing time to enhance his chances for the England 2026 World Cup squad. Trafford said he is working hard daily, acknowledged uncertainty over next season, and noted that his contract leaves future possibilities open.
