Magath warns Man Utd off "Schalke idol" Neuer

Schalke 04 coach Felix Magath is warning Manchester United over their interest for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Neuer is under consideration at United as a potential replacement for veteran No1 Edwin van der Sar.

"I never contemplated him leaving, because he is a symbol of this club," said Magath. "He was born and raised here in Gelsenkirchen and, until such time that he started playing for us, would sit in the stands and cheer for the team.

"He is an idol for the fans of Schalke and if we sold him, we would be ripping out the heart of this club."
