Football
It is impossible to talk about the biography of goalkeeper without mentioning football, because the sport takes the main place in the life of a man.
Passing all the stages of training in the children's and youth team of the native "Schalke 04", Manuel in 2005 signed a contract with the same club. On the field as the main goalkeeper, it was not possible to get out immediately. The Neuker season spent on the bench. However, in 2006-2007, the first goalkeeper of the club Frank growth unexpectedly was injured and gave way to a young goalkeeper. Chance Show Sport Talents Neuer used success.
Shortly after the debut, the club's gate remained under his defense. The coach was impressed with Manuel's game. Subsequent seasons have become no less significant in the career of the goalkeeper. In 2008, the football player was included in the short list for the title of the best goalkeeper of the UEFA Club. Among other applicants, Manu turned out to be the youngest and only outcomes from the Bundesliga.
Then the representatives of the leading club of Germany "Bavaria" were interested in a promising athlete. The "Schalke" manual managed to hold the goalkeeper as part of the team for a while. But inevitable care from the club took place in 2011, when the goalkeeper refused to extend the contract, despite the convictions and promises to increase fees.
Care from the club, to whom the footballer gave 20 years of sports life, became a difficult test. Among other things, the fans of "Bavaria" were categorically against the new goalkeeper. Munich fans did not want to see anyone at the gate, except for Thomas Kraft.
Protest fans was serious. Going to the field, Manu saw offensive posters, beer glasses and other garbage flew into it. I aggravated the situation of the transmission of a single goal that became victorious in the debut match of the goalkeeper for the club.
As a result, the rising star did not pay attention to protests from the Tribune and remained calm, continuing to stand at the club gates. Having reached a record for the team of 1147 minutes without skipping balls in the first played season, the goalkeeper melted the hearts of fans.
In the 2012/2013 season, thanks to a brilliant game and the protection of "Bavaria", four trophies got at once: the Bundesliga Cup, German Cup, German Super Cup and Champions League Cup. Such a triumph occurred for the first time during the existence of the Club. The next season brought Manan the title of goalkeeper of the year. Of course, FC extended a contract with him.
In addition to the career in Bavaria, since 2009, the goalkeeper defends the honor of the national team. In 2014 at the World Championships, the victory in which Germany got, Neuker received the Golden Glove of the goalkeeper. Since 2016, the bandage from the captain of the national team is bandaged.
Season 2016/2017 became unsuccessful for goalkeeper. In the match 1/4 of the Champions League, Neuier broke his left foot. Injury deleted a football player from the field until the end of the season. After recovering from the fracture, the athlete went to the gate, unfortunately, for a short time. After playing only three meetings, Manuel broke his leg at the training session, and again the left.

May 19, Manu was in the application for the match in the German Cup final. However, on the game against "Aintracht" he never appeared, as he stayed the whole match on the reserve bench.

2020 began to mana not quite successfully. In January, the club management asked him to give way to the gate by Alexander Nyubel.

Manuel became interested in Juventus, and the football player himself again set the records of Bundesligi on "dry" matches with "hedge".
