"Unless your name is Juan Bernat. Still, if a player has served a club well for many years Hoeneß will have a player's back no matter."
"I think the way everyone is now attacking him is unacceptable,"
"Manuel is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world - and that will remain the case."
"I think this topic will only be discussed in spring."
Ulrich Hoeneß remains influential at Bayern Munich and is known for staunchly supporting players who have served the club, with the notable exception of Juan Bernat. Hoeneß described the current attacks on Manuel Neuer as unacceptable and affirmed that Neuer is still among the best goalkeepers in the world. Hoeneß indicated that any contract-extension talks for Neuer will be postponed until spring. A potential extension could keep Neuer at Bayern beyond his 41st birthday, but such an outcome depends on Neuer maintaining fitness and consistent form over a full season.
