Manuel Neuer, born 27 March 1986 (age 40), is a German goalkeeper with Bayern Munich, wearing the number 1 shirt. An imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m), he made his early senior mark at Schalke 04, where his 2006-07 league season brought 27 appearances.
His career has been shaped overwhelmingly by Bayern Munich. Across 15 seasons with the club, Neuer has made 388 league appearances, a level of staying power that leaves little need for embroidery. Bayern is where the main body of his work has been done.
He remains relevant in the current side rather than merely attached to it. In 2025-26, he has made 21 Bundesliga appearances, along with 11 in the Champions League and one in the DFL-Supercup, giving him 33 appearances in all competitions for Bayern this season.
His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Neuer’s career runs from Schalke promise to a long Bayern spell that still has competitive substance in 2025-26.
