Neuer is rated as one of the best goalkeepers in Germany and with Schalke having a disappointing campaign in 2010-11, there have been reports suggesting that the 24-year-old could leave for a bigger club in the summer.
Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal has openly expressed an interest in the custodian, claiming that “we could do with Manuel Neuer” and now Tonnies has revealed that United are genuinely keen on signing the player as well.
“An international consultant has approached me and informed me that Manchester United are interested in Neuer,” the Schalke chief told Bild.
“If Manchester United present us with a written request, then we will deal with it.”
Neuer’s contract with Schalke runs until 2012.
