Schalke fan slaps Neuer in the face during cup celebration

Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's unwillingness to commit his future to the club has angered fans for a while now and during the celebration in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday after Saturday's DFB Pokal win, one supporter made his slappy feelings very clear to Neuer's face.

The Bayern Munich and Manchester United target rode in the back of a slow moving convertible escorted by security personnel through streets crammed with happy fans. At one point, a man in a black cap apparently caught his attention and Neuer leader over towards him and grabbed his hand, which the guy then used to slap the team captain's cheek before scurrying away.

Surprised by the unfriendly gesture, Neuer just sat back down as his fellow passenger held his giant glass of beer as if he was going to use it as a weapon. Which was pretty much the best part of the clip.

And if Manuel Neuer had any thoughts of staying with Schalke now that they've won a bit of silverware, this incident probably killed them.
