Manchester United's all-time record goalscorers

Marcus Rashford surpassed David Beckham and Eric Cantona’s goal tallies of 85 and 82 Manchester United goals last season.

But the United academy graduate has a long way to go to chase down Manchester United’s record goalscorer.

Wayne Rooney holds the title after reaching an astonishing 253 goals in 2017, surpassing a long held record held by Sir Bobby Charlton.

Charlton said at the time: “I would be lying to say that I’m not disappointed to have lost the record. However, I can honestly say that I’m delighted for Wayne. He deserves his place in the history books.”

RONALDO NEEDS TO STOP WHINING.

United’s record goalscorers feature many big names from the past, and several well known players from the modern era, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rashford and Mason Greenwood one day have a real chance to join this list, and finish very high up on it.

Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney won countless pieces of silverware during their time at the club too. Goals win trophies, and if they keep on scoring, there could be unreal success ahead.

Dan is still wondering what would have happened if United had kept Juan Veron...
