Hansi Flick confirms Bayern's goalkeeper heirarchy next season | OneFootball

Current Schalke goalkeeper Alexander Nübel will be giving Manuel Neuer some serious competition next season but there’s no question as to who will start as Bayern’s number one next season.

Despite Neuer’s job being seemingly under threat after the news broke that the 23-year-old would join on a free in July, manager Hansi Flick has made it clear that he still considers Neuer to be the best in the world.

“Everyone knows what I think of Manuel,” Flick told SportBild. “He is by far the best goalkeeper in the world, I have no doubts about that.

“Therefore, there is no alternative for me. Manuel leads the team, it gives him the necessary security.

“We have a clear hierarchy with the goalkeepers. It will be the same next year.”

Flick also revealed he had nothing to do with Nübel’s signing.

“I wasn’t asked,” Flick said. “But, of course, I knew that he would be signed. That was an issue that affected the next season.”

Bayern Munich currently lead the Bundesliga by four points with just nine games to go and will travel to face Union Berlin this weekend.
