"His exploits in the European fixture even earned him a Player of the match award. In an interview with Kerry Hau of Sky Sports, defender Jonathan Tah praised the youngster for putting up a great show in a big match. "First of all, Jonas is doing a fantastic job. He had a superb game, especially in Eindhoven. Manu is just as good," said Tah(as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"Despite nearing 40, Manu has been backed by his teammates as well as from folks in the front office to play another season. "He's an outstanding goalkeeper, and it feels great to play with him. With the confidence he exudes and everything he can do - with and without the ball. Ultimately, it's up to him and the club what the plans are, but of course, I wouldn't complain" expressed Tah on the effect of having Neuer standing in goal and leading the team."
Bayern Munich is integrating Jonas Urbig as the long-term successor to Manuel Neuer and is actively developing the young goalkeeper. Urbig produced a standout performance against PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League, earning a Player of the Match award and comparisons to Neuer. Defender Jonathan Tah praised Urbig’s performance and called him fantastic after the Eindhoven game. Manuel Neuer remains the established first-choice goalkeeper and is expected to continue for another season despite nearing 40. Teammates and club officials back Neuer to stay, and Tah emphasized Neuer’s confidence, skill with and without the ball. Contract decisions rest with Neuer and the club.
