Markus Neumayr

Markus Neumayr (born 26 March 1986 in Hösbach, Aschaffenburg) is a Germany association football player who plays as a midfielder for Belgium side S.V. Zulte Waregem.

Neumayr started his football career playing for local clubs before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2003. However, within a few months, he was picked up by Manchester United F.C.. During his spell with Manchester United, he played on the right side of midfield, although on some occasions he would play in the middle of the park.

In the three seasons Neumayr spent at Old Trafford, he never played in a match for the first team. He was once called into the squad on 29 March 2006 for the match against West Ham United F.C. but did not make the final sixteen. When David Fox (footballer) departed to Blackpool F.C., Neumayr took on the role of reserve team captain. With this added responsibility, many believed it would only be a matter of time before he would go on and make the first team. However, this never materialised, Neumayr was released from the club at his own request at the end of the 2005–06 season, joining MSV Duisburg.

On 20 June 2008, Neumayr signed a deal at Belgium's first division club SV Zulte Waregem. His contract at Duisburg wasn't renewed, so he was released on a free transfer.
