No Manchester United player has scored more than 44 goals in all competitions in a single season since the 1998/99 season. Marcus Rashford is currently the club's top scorer, with 28 goals in all competitions this season. However, Marcus Rashford has now equaled Zlatan Ibrahimovic's scoring record for the club during the 2016/17 season. Moreover, the English striker has equaled Bruno Fernandes' record of 28 goals in the 2020/21 season.
The England striker has surpassed many of Manchester United's top scorers in previous seasons. These top scorers are Anthony Martial (2019/20), Romelu Lukaku (2017/18), Martial (2015/16), Berbatov (2010/11), Wayne Rooney (2013/14, 2014/15, 2006/07 and 2004/05), Dwight Yorke (1999/00), Teddy Sheringham (2000/01) and Cristiano Ronaldo (22/21, 2008/09 and 2006/07). Check out the pictures to see how many goals these Manchester United players have scored in the seasons shown.
If Marcus Rashford scores another goal this season, he will equal Dwight Yorke's scoring record in 1998/99. Moreover, if he scores two more goals, he will equal Van Nistelrooy's goalscoring record in the 2003/04 and 2001/02 seasons, as well as Van Persie's record in the 2012/13 season. It is impossible to know how many goals Rashford will score before the end of the season. However, the Red Devils are still competing in the FA Cup and Europa League. If Rashford scores six more goals this season, he could match Wayne Rooney's scoring record in 2009/10 and 2011/12.
