Schalke<\/a> goalkeeper Manuel Neuer<\/a> believes his team’s failure to play at their best is the reason for their 4-1 defeat to Manchester United<\/a> in the second-leg of their Champions League<\/a> semi-final on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

The German side were unable to overturn their 2-0 deficit from the home leg with United choosing to rest several first team stars.<\/p>\n

Neuer, who performed heroics to keep his team in the tie in the first leg was unable to repeat his goalkeeping heroics at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

“Again, this wasn’t our day today. It was the same performance as the first leg and that’s hard. We needed to show a top performance to beat United and reach the final but we didn’t succeed,” the keeper told Sky<\/em> after the game.<\/p>\n

The Germany No. 1 also refused to concede that Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to rest players had an impact on the match.<\/p>\n

“We can’t talk about Manchester United playing a ‘B’ team. They have included players who would be in the first teams of Bundesliga clubs.<\/p>\n

“We have had a great season in the Champions League and we reached the semi-final. We can be proud of this but we need to forget the games againt Manchester United,” he added.<\/p>\n

There has been much speculation in regards to Neuer’s future but the player himself refused to talk about it despite admitting he wants to play Champions League football next season.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to talk about my future now. The Champions League is a great plateau and I want to play in it again next season,” Neuer concluded.<\/p>\n

Schalke are currenly 10th in the Bundesliga and unable to qualify for next term’s Champions League with Neuer’s comments a further indication of his desire to leave the club.<\/p>\n
