Marcus Rashford is one of the most exciting Manchester United players to have played in the Premier League.

He is yet to win the Premier League, but Rashford has been a steady, if not a spectacular performer in the competition. Last year, the then 23-year-old became the third-youngest United player to notch up 50 Premier League goals for the 13-time winners.

The versatile attacker has scored at least ten goals in each of his last three Premier League campaigns. Though he has played on either wing and as a centre-forward, it is at left wing where the pacy Rashford has had the most success.

In his most prolific league campaign in 2019-20, Rashford scored 17 times and also registered nine assists.


# Centre-Forward - Wayne Rooney (183 goals)

Wayne Rooney (253) is the most prolific goalscorer in Manchester United history. A total of 183 of those strikes came in the Premier League.

That was a record league tally for a single club before Sergio Aguero scored his 184th Premier League goal for Manchester City on the last day of the 2020-21 season.

The versatile attacker scored a lot of fabulous goals in his career, including imperious bicycle kicks, sumptuous free-kicks and venomous strikes from distance. The five-time Premier League winner netted at least 11 league goals in as many consecutive seasons in the competition.

Despite his glorious exploits, the Premier League Golden Boot award eluded Rooney. Nevertheless, he twice scored over 25 league goals - 26 in 2009-10 and 27 in 2011-12; United failed to win the Premier League on both occasions, though.


# Right Winger - Mason Greenwood (20 goals)

Mason Greenwood is one of the most exciting young players in the Premier League at the moment. Still only 20, the two-footed Greenwood has already scored 20 goals in the competition.

The Manchester United winger has enjoyed a fabulous start to his 2021-22 Premier League campaign. By scoring in his first three games of the season, Greenwood became the first teenager to do so since Robbie Fowler in 1994.

Greenwood enjoyed a breakout 2019-20 Premier League campaign, scoring ten goals and assisting once in 31 games.
