Kahn Tells United Target To Quit

Oliver Kahn has told German newspaper Bild that he thinks Manchester United target Manuel Neuer will have to leave current club Schalke to fulfill his potential. Neuer's current manager Felix Magath has been showering praise on the goalkeeper describing him as "the best in the world". Kahn says he thinks "he will become world class, But he has to take the next step and join one of the great clubs. Then he can play in the Champions League regularly, with Schalke that is certainly possible sporadically but not every year."

When the interviewer asked him to name to world class keepers still playing he said "Casillas of Real Madrid, Chelsea's Cech and Buffon of Juventus are world class. Julio Cesar of Inter Milan is also good. And Manuel Neuer can get into that category."

It remains to be seen if United will make a move for the German international following the capture of Denmark's Anders Lindegaard.
