What happened. Gianluigi Donnarumma told Sky Sports that Manchester City's faultless start to the season proves they are not in transition, despite a summer of change. The goalkeeper praised his team-mates' resilience in the Manchester derby win and said the club's objective remains winning trophies.

• Donnarumma is part of a new leadership group alongside Ruben Dias, Erling Haaland and Marc Guehi.
• He says City showed mettle to win the derby a man down after Phil Foden's red card.
• The goalkeeper insists there is still plenty for the squad to learn this season.

“I don't really like the word 'transition.'”

— Gianluigi Donnarumma
