Schalke Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer On Manchester United Radar - Report
Sir Alex appears to be in the hunt for a new shot stopper...
According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, reigning Premier League champions Manchester United are considering making a move for Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The Red Devils are in the market for a new goalkeeper due to the expected retirement of Edwin van der Sar at the end of this campaign. Back-up glovesman Ben Foster has been unable to impress so far whenever called upon.
The 23-year-old Neuer appeared to be on his way to Bayern Munich earlier this summer, but the transfer eventually collapsed due to Schalke's hefty asking price. However, United manager Alex Ferguson appears to be ready to match Schalke's €20 million price-tag.
Ferguson reportedly considers Neuer as the perfect replacement for Van der Sar and would be more than happy to add the German international to his squad with immediate effect in order to give him the chance to adapt to English football before taking over from the Dutchman next term. -
