Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Schalke 04 goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The Mail on Sunday says United and Bayern Munich are locked in a £22million fight to sign Germany keeper Neuer.
The Schalke 04 shot-stopper tops Sir Alex Ferguson's list of possible candidates to replace Edwin van der Sar, who retires at the end of the season.
A United scout saw Neuer, who will be 25 next month, produce an outstanding performance in a goalless draw at Dortmund.
