6: Edwin van der Sar
Juventus: 88 appearances, 41 clean sheets (1999 - 2001)
Man Utd: 266 appearances, 135 clean sheets (2005 - 2011
Edwin van der Sar was one of the goalkeepers that United considered as a replacement for Peter Schmeichel in 1999 and many fans still believe the club should have moved more seriously for the Dutchman then instead of waiting six years to sign him.
Van der Sar spent just two years with Juve during a rare barren spell for the club, with a UEFA Intertoto Cup his only silverware. He later won four Premier League titles and the Champions League in six seasons at United after joining from Fulham.
Van der Sar, who is now a director at Ajax after his retirement in 2011, even set a world record after going an astonishing 1,311 minutes without conceding a goal during the 2008/09 season. It was a run that lasted from November to March and covered two competitions.
