Man Utd remain keen on Schalke keeper Neuer

Manchester United remain keen on Schalke 04 goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

The Sunday Express says United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was keen on Schalke goalkeeper Neuer in the summer after he helped Germany to Under-21 glory in Euro 2009.

The 23-year-old looks likely to go to the World Cup this summer and Ferguson is considering a move for him now, fearing his price tag could rocket if he has a good tournament.

A spokesman for Neuer's management company said: "There has been a lot of interest in Neuer.

"While Manchester United expressed a previous interest, it is likely Schalke's valuation of him could increase if the player continues to improve."
