MANCHESTER UNITED target Yann Sommer played the game of his life as Borussia Monchengladbach grabbed a 1-1 draw at Bayern Munich.
The Swiss stopper is on the Red Devils’ radar as a potential competitor for David de Gea’s No1 spot.
And on yesterday’s evidence it was easy to see why.
Sommer, 33, smashed the Bundesliga record for most saves made in a single match.
The experienced goalie denied Bayern an incredible 19 times – the previous record standing at only 14.
His amazing repertoire of saves included a remarkable double effort against Sadio Mane, as well as a one on one with Leroy Sane.

Marcus Thuram gave the visitors the lead against the run of play on the stoke of half time, profiting on a Dayot Upamecano mistake to run through and squeeze a left-footed effort beyond Manuel Neuer.
Sommer’s heroics preserved his side’s precious lead until the 83rd minute, when Sane was finally able to sweep the ball beyond him following Jamal Musiala’s cutback.
SunSport revealed that Man United scouts were in attendance at Sommer’s last match against Hertha Berlin a week ago.
And it’s impossible that they came away unimpressed by the 6ft stopper.

Convincing him to join and potentially play second fiddle to De Gea, however, will be difficult – with United looking at a number of alternatives.
Norwich stalwart Tim Krul has come up as a potential option.
While the Red Devils were turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt ace Kevin Trapp.
They have made an offer for Newcastle ace Martin Dubravka, with the 33-year-old reportedly “begging” Toon chiefs to let him go.
