Manuel Neuer signs new 5-year contract

World Cup winner Manuel Neuer has committed his future to Bayern Munich until 2021. His previous deal was due to expire in 2019. 

This will be good news for incoming manager Carlo Ancelotti after the German international joined team-mates Jerome Boateng, Thomas Muller, David Alaba and Javi Martinez in committing to the club until 2021.

The Germany international has been hugely successful since he moved to Bayern. He has won three Bundesliga titles, two German Cups and the Champions League since joining Bayern from Schalke in 2011. He will expect to add more silverware this season as they are on course to win the treble this season.

The Bavarians beat Werder Bremen 2-0 in their German Cup semi-final on Tuesday and will play the winner of Wednesday's game between Hertha Berlin and Borussia Dortmund in the final. 

They have a seven-point lead over Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga with four games left and play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.
