Edwin van der Sar, arguably one of the best goalkeepers in the long list of extraordinary shot-stoppers who've starred for Manchester United, was an absolute rock for his club in the 6 seasons he played for them.

The Dutch international is one of the most decorated and successful footballers ever, having won 27 major trophies in his career, mainly at Ajax and Manchester United.

But it was in the 2008-09 season that he would go on to keep a personal best 21 clean sheets for the Red Devils, also setting a world league clean sheet record by not conceding a single goal for 1,311 minutes in the season.

Current goalkeeper David De Gea was the first player to win the Golden Glove award for Manchester United since his departure, as he kept 18 clean sheets last season.
