GIF: Manuel Neuer embraces role of sweeper 'keeper

As if we needed any more proof that Manuel Neuer is the greatest 'keeper on the planet.

The second half of Wednesday's DFB-Pokal between Hamburg and Bayern Munich saw the German shot-stopper put his dribbling skills on display as he proceeded to collect the ball just outside his own box and dribble through two oncoming Hamburg players before playing off a pass for Jerome Boateng with the outside of his foot.

Because of Neuer, the existence of the sweeper 'keeper is alive and well.
