Schalke president Clemens Tonnies has confirmed he was informed of Manchester United’s interest in keeper Manuel Neuer.
Bayern Munich have been tracking the Germany international for quite a while and the Bavarians are already pondering a summer bid.
However, Schalke president has confirmed that Manchester United are also in the race.
“An international consultant has approached me and informed me that Manchester United are interested in Neuer,” Tonnies told Bild.
“If Manchester United present us with a written request, then we will deal with it.”
Sir Alex Ferguson is still looking for a new keeper after Edwin van der Sar confirmed he would retire at the end of the season.
The Scottish boss doesn’t think either Anders Lindegaard or Tomasz Kuszczak is able to make the number one jersey their own and is likely to buy a new keeper in the summer.
Manuel Neuer is just one of the targets, while others include Maarten Stekelenburg, Rene Adler and David De Gea.
Even though the German keeper seems to be leading the race at the moment, my opinion is that Maarten Stekelenburg would be a better choice as he already has a wealth of international experience unlike Neuer.
Liverpool winning the race for French star
Liverpool are leading the race to sign Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko, according to Daily Mail.
The French international has already rejected Liverpool some four years ago to sign a professional contract at Toulouse, but he is now again on the Reds’ radar.
The 21-year-old has attracted attention from clubs like Tottenham and Manchester United with his scintillating performances over the last few seasons.
Nevertheless, Liverpool reignited the interest in the player following the arrival of Damien Comolli and they are now leading the race for the highly regarded youngster.
The player himself revealed last week that he had had contacts with Liverpool.
