text: how many goalkeepers have man utd used since peter schmical?   his understudy was van der gouw.  - schmeichel's successor was bosnich. - nick culkin (not rachubka) played 10 seconds or so in a game against arsenal after van der gouw got injured during the match. bosnich was injured before the game. - fergie then brought in taibi, and you know what happened  next season, he bought fabian barthez. bosnich was let go, and roy carroll was his understudy now. andy goram had a short spell too.  after barthez left came tim howard. carroll continued to be backup.  then we now have van der sar, plus kuzczack(?) as understudy. carroll was released, and howard left on loan.  that's about 10 then.  edit: i forgot ricardo. third choice spainard who had a couple of games.
