Who is the best goalkeeper in Manchester United history?
From Schmeichel's commanding presence to De Gea's four Player of the Year awards — who is the greatest goalkeeper in Manchester United history?
Peter Schmeichel
United's greatest goalkeeper and one of the best in the world ever, commanding his area with unmatched presence and winning five Premier League titles and the 1999 Champions League as captain in the final.
Edwin van der Sar
Dutch keeper who joined in 2005 and immediately elevated United's defence, winning four Premier League titles and producing a decisive penalty save in Moscow to win the 2008 Champions League.
David de Gea
Spain's brilliant shot-stopper who transformed from a nervous newcomer into United's most consistent performer, winning the club's Player of the Year award four times across 12 remarkable seasons.
Alex Stepney
United's reliable keeper who won the 1968 European Cup under Matt Busby, making crucial saves in the final and providing a calm and commanding presence over nearly a decade of service.
Harry Gregg
Brave Northern Irish keeper who survived the Munich air disaster and heroically helped rescue fellow passengers, returning to play before the season ended and becoming one of the club's most beloved figures.
Gary Bailey
South African-born keeper who was United's first-choice stopper through the early 1980s, twice winning the FA Cup and representing England before a knee injury curtailed his career.
Massimo Taibi
Italian keeper whose brief and memorable stint at United — including one infamous gaffe against Southampton — made him one of football's most unforgettable short-stay No. 1s.
