Man Utd boss Ferguson: Players feared Neuer was unbreakable

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits his players were feeling Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer would prove unbeatable last night.

United eventually won 2-0, but not before being denied time and again by Neuer.

"There was a frustration towards the end of the first-half when Neuer made another save from Ryan," said Ferguson.

"When that move broke down our players started walking back and I sensed a bit of frustration. We had to correct that at half-time.

"But the thing that broke the camel's back was Javier Hernandez's goal being chalked off .

"That took away the frustration of the players because they knew they could actually beat the guy even if it was not easy."
