Neuer unhappy with abusive Schalke chants

The Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer has criticised Schalke's fans over their treatment of him since he left the club back in 2011.

Neuer came up through the youth system at Schalke, but opted to leave the club when the Bavarian giants came calling.

It has now become a regular occurence for Neuer to be subject to abusive chants when the two sides meet and the 30-year-old now believes the fans are going too far.

"I don't mind it if they whistle me when I'm on the ball. But I cannot understand it when they insult me with the words they used," Neuer told Kicker.

"Emotion is part of the game, but I find it incomprehensible when I hear people shout at me and call me a son of a w****.

"Everything that happened when I left Schalke for Bayern made me stronger as a person. It was quite an experience and it was not easy for me.

"But if you look at the career I have already had at Munich, it's clear that joining Bayern was the right choice for me."
