Nigerian goalkeeper, Arthur Okonkwo, has crowned Manchester United legend Edwin Van Der Sar as the greatest goalkeeper in history.

Speaking on the Wrexham Podcast, Okonkwo also opened up about his childhood loyalty to Man United.

When asked to name his No. 1 between the sticks, he replied: “Van der Sar. I was a Man United fan. I grew up watching.”

Okonkwo currently plays his trade with Championship side Wrexham.

He has quietly built momentum over the past three years after leaving Arsenal in 2024 to join the Red Dragons.

The 24-year-old helped Wrexham to gain promotion from League One to the Championship.

Since then, Okonkwo has held down the starting role, recording ten clean sheets in 38 appearances.
