Marcus Rashford has led the list of players with the most nutmegs in the five European leagues, beating out Neymar and Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain, as well as colleague Jadon Sancho.
Last season, the 24-year-old embarrassed defenders 21 times, three more than the flashy Brazilian and Eden Hazard from Chelsea's historic 2017/18 season.
Rashford made the list a season earlier, when he completed 13 nutmegs, and it has been running since the 2017/18 league season.
Rashford has struggled to live up to his potential so far this season, missing the first few months of United's league campaign due to shoulder surgery, but he did score in consecutive matches prior to the international break.
Despite the Premier League's two-week winter break, the attacker has increased his training by continuing his growth in Dubai.
Prior to the brief halt, he was joined by Jesse Lingard and Diogo Dalot in a social media post after Ralf Rangnick's team made it back-to-back wins, moving into fourth place.
He told MUTV after his game-winning goal against West Ham: "It surely does well for your confidence." Winning games, however, is the most important factor in boosting your confidence.
"Hopefully, when the team is winning games in a row, we can use that as fuel and drive to keep winning the following few games." It [the result] is clearly significant; there are a few teams ahead of us who have a few games in hand.
"However, it's wonderful to go into the break in fourth place, and you never know what may happen in the Premier League."
"There's still a lot to play for, and the most important thing is that trophies are still up for grabs."
