Schalke captain Marcelo Bordon feels the club may have to sell goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

The 23-year-old is reportedly attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester United and Schalke's worrying financial plight may force them into a sale this winter.

And Bordon thinks Neuer should be sold in the interests of his club.

"The financial aspect plays a role and maybe it would be better in that sense if he were to leave because we could get a hell of a lot of money for him," Bordon told the Bild newspaper.
