WATCH: Manuel Neuer’s sweeper-keeper shenanigans almost go terribly wrong

Went walkabout

Tom Victor

When you have a unique style like Manuel Neuer, you’re often playing with fire.

He’s bailed Germany and Bayern Munich out many a time with his “outside-the-box” thinking, but when it goes wrong…well…

Neuer made it all the way to the halfway line in Bayern’s Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg – extreme even by his standards – only to run into Julian Draxler.

Daniel Caliguri still had some work to do after collecting the loose ball, but how’s this for a *almost* finish?

We doubt Pep Guardiola will be too happy, but is Neuer going to change? We doubt it.

After all, he didn’t change after doing this for Schalke against Inter a few years ago.
