"The win against Borussia Dortmund didn't see Manuel Neuer make several saves. He couldn't have done much about Julian Brandt's goal, but Neuer contributed well in possession when Bayern Munich were dominating possession. Neuer was disappointed not to keep a clean sheet, but he remains clear at the top of the list for most clean sheets this season. The German goalkeeper has four clean sheets in seven games. His performances have been promising, looking close to his best with the ball and the shot-stopping."
"Bayern extended his contract by a year. The 38-year-old has built on the contract extension by delivering consistent performances this campaign. According to Bild, Bayern are now leaning towards another one-year extension for Neuer. The initial thought amongst the club hierarchy was that this was likely to be Neuer's final year at the club. Several senior staff at the club believe that a new deal for Neuer looks more like a matter of when than if."
Manuel Neuer had little to do in the win over Borussia Dortmund and could not have done much to prevent Julian Brandt's goal, while contributing well in possession as Bayern dominated. Neuer was disappointed to miss a clean sheet but remains top for clean sheets this season with four in seven games. After a rough Hinrunde last season, Neuer has bounced back and produced promising shot‑stopping and ball play. Bayern extended his contract by a year and appear inclined toward another one‑year extension. Neuer set a Bundesliga record with 363 wins. Bayern must manage his minutes and plan a gradual goalkeeper transition to Jonas Urbig.
