"I always find it quite amusing when the public asks me if I'm in contact with Manu. Yes, I am. We talk on the phone now and then, and we text each other occasionally. He can use WhatsApp, and so can I. We also talk about other topics from time to time, things that go beyond football. We have a very good relationship."
"Neuer endured 'the worst thing' he'd experienced in his career as a result of Nagelsmann's decision to sack Toni Tapalović - the Bayern captain's goalkeeping coach and best friend."
