Manchester United are launching a shock bid for Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The Sun says United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is trying to wrap up a £5million deal for keeper Neuer before Bayern Munich increase their bid.
The Manchester United manager has received rave reports about the FC Schalke stopper, 23, who is being dubbed the new Peter Schmeichel.
Schalke coach Felix Magath is aware of Manchester United's interest in goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
"I have heard Manchester United would be interested in signing Manuel Neuer," he told Die Welt.
"But for as long as I don't receive a concrete approach, I will not make any statement about this."
Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are also believed to be keen on Neuer, but United are said to be willing to pay a higher fee in order to land the youngster.
This guy is good.
And i mean good.
5 million is nothing. Quickly outbid bayern and get him at a bargain price.
I agree he is good but try and look at Russia's Igor Akinfeev or Rene Adler from Germany both are consider young prospect
