United should sign Manuel Neuer. With De Gea in goal and him at centre back, we'll be impenetrable.

Manuel Neuer is like someone playing Be A Pro GK on FIFA. Always coming out of the box trying to be involved in the game because he's bored!

Increasingly certain that Manuel Neuer is a better central midfielder than Steven Gerrard.

I like to think that Manuel Neuer sings 'Here I Go Again' by Whitesnake every time he runs to clear the ball outside his area. #BrazilNuts

Manuel Neuer would be great for the Night's Watch. The man knows how to defend his post.

Manuel Neuer is also refereeing, running the line and checking tickets at the turnstiles. #Ger v #ALG

Manuel Neuer might need a shock collar.

I'm battling Manuel Neuer here. He won't even let me in the box, let alone the net.
