Neuer price forces Man Utd to turn to De Gea

Manchester United are ready to drop their interest in Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

The Sunday Express says United boss Alex Ferguson is set to bid £12million for Atletico Madrid's teenage keeper David de Gea.

Germany keeper Manuel Neuer is also a possible target, but United would have to pay Schalke £20m for the 24-year-old.

Ferguson's reluctance to pay over the odds means de Gea is likely to be United's preferred choice.
