Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Manuel Neuer (born 27 March 1986 in Gelsenkirchen) is a German footballer and a current goalkeeper who will start playing for Bayern Munich in the 2011-12 season.Neuer signed professional terms in 2005 after progressing through every age group at his hometown club. He made his Bundesliga debut when he came on to substitute the injured Frank Rost on match day 2 of the 2006-07 season. The 20-year-old eventually won the starting position when Rost was surprisingly dropped for the crunch clash against Bayern Munich. He did not disappoint and managed to secure a 2-2 draw against the defending champions. Despite his young age, he was widely tipped to be a potential successor to his former idol Jens Lehmann in the future for the German national team.
