The current Manchester City boss was never any short of praise for Bayern’s custodian while he was still with them. He is known to prefer goalkeepers who are good with their feet just like Victor Valdes, Neuer and now, Ederson.
“I still remember how, after winning the championship, Pep Guardiola seriously had the idea to play him [Neuer] in midfield for a game,” Rummenigge told the club’s official matchday magazine. “Only with great effort was I able to dissuade Pep from this idea, which some people would perhaps have interpreted as arrogance on our part. But I am convinced: Manu would have cut a good figure in midfield, too.”
