Reigning German football champions Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has said he is upset with how Schalke fans treat him since his departure from the club in 2011.
The German World Cup winner rose through the ranks of the Schalke youth academy but then shifted his allegiance to Bayern, when offered a better deal.
He has been on the receiving end of offensive chants when the two sides have met and Neuer says now the fans are crossing the line with their behaviour.

The 30-year-old added that joining Bayern was the best possible choice for him.
