Wayne Rooney - 253
The former attacker is United’s all-time leading goalscorer and he was the last person to reach the landmark before Rashford back in 2009. Rooney had a magnificent career at Old Trafford, winning everything there was available to him with a total of 16 major titles. He is a member of the Premier League Hall of Fame and won the Player of the Season award in 2009-10.
Sir Bobby Charlton - 249
Making his breakthrough as one of the Busby Babes, Charlton had an illustrious career with the Red Devils, winning seven major honours during his 17-year spell at Old Trafford. He was a tremendous player and he further etched his name into history as part of the England side that won the World Cup on home soil in 1966.
Denis Law - 237
Denis Law was an outstanding player and a prolific goalscorer. He played for United in the same era as Charlton and both were a joy to watch. He decorated himself with six trophies, including two league titles, before leaving them to join his former club and United’s bitter rivals Manchester City. The less said about what happened next, the better.
Jack Rowley - 211
Nicknamed ‘Gunner’ for his deadly left foot, Rowley was one of United’s biggest stars in the period that followed the Second World War. He joined the club in 1937 and was a key player in helping Sir Matt Busby’s grand plan start to come into effect. He won three titles at United before departing in 1955.
Dennis Viollet - 179
Few United players have come close to Viollet’s 32 league goal campaign in 1959-60. The forward from Fallowfield was quick and always knew where to position himself to get a chance at goal.
George Best - 179
Best was breathtaking to watch. He made football look simple at times with the way he glided around the pitch, beating players with ease. The Northern Irishman was arguably the most gifted player to emerge from Britain and just oozed class on the ball.
Joe Spence - 168
Spence was a spectacular winger for United and despite not winning any major honours at Old Trafford, he is firmly in the club’s record books.
Ryan Giggs - 168
Giggs won a jaw-dropping 34 pieces of silverware during his 24-year career as a United player. A one-club man, Giggs emerged as part of the club’s infamous Class of 92 and has gone down as a legendary figure for his contributions. Along with being part of the prestigious 100 club, he holds the record for most competitive appearances at United with 936.
Mark Hughes - 163
‘Sparky’ began his love affair with the Red Devils in 1978 and earned the adoration of the supporters. He spent two spells at Old Trafford, with a disappointing stint at Barcelona sandwiched in between. Hughes won a total of 11 trophies as a United player and he remains a firm fan favourite on the terraces.
Paul Scholes - 155
Known for executing his midfield duties to perfection thanks to his incredible passing abilities, Scholes was no stranger to scoring goals either. His standout goalscoring campaign was part of the historic treble-winning 1998-99 season, where he scored 20 across all competitions. He is regarded as one of the greatest midfielders in Premier League history.
Ruud van Nistelrooy - 150
The Dutch striker was as prolific as they come. Van Nistelrooy had such an eye for goal that he reached 150 goals for the Red Devils in less than 200 starts. Whenever the forward had a chance at goal, you would have put your house on him finding the net. Goalscoring was that natural to him.
Stan Pearson - 148
A key member of Busby’s first great United team, Pearson was a dependable goalscorer renowned for his clinical shooting. But he was also a reliable figure in terms of appearances; between 1946-53, Pearson only missed 13 matches for United.
David Herd - 145
Herd won five titles with United between 1961-68. He was purchased for £40,000 from Arsenal and finished just behind Jimmy Greaves in the First Division goal charts in 1960-61. For the success he helped the club achieve, it was money well spent.
Cristiano Ronaldo - 144
Regarded as one of the greatest footballers to have played the beautiful game, it was his first spell at United that saw Ronaldo rise to superstardom. His brilliant dribbling skills and goalscoring capabilities earned him a then world record transfer to Real Madrid. The Portuguese attacker won nine major honours at Old Trafford, all during his first stint.
Tommy Taylor - 131
Regarded by those who were fortunate enough to watch him play as the greatest centre-forward United have ever had, Taylor scored 131 goals in 191 matches. You understand just how much of a star he was when the great goalscoring legend Alfredo Di Stefano labelled him ‘Magnifico’.
Brian McClair - 127
Nicknamed ‘Choccy’ because his surname rhymes with eclair, McClair became the first United player to score 20 goals in a season since George Best in 1987-88. He joined the club as a forward but moved into midfield when the club acquired Eric Cantona, but he maintained his goalscoring instincts.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 126
The hero of Barcelona, Solskjaer scored the historic Champions League-winning goal against Bayern Munich which secured United a momentous treble, something which has never been repeated in English football. Before Erling Haaland, Solskjaer was the Norwegian goalscoring sensation and he is still adored among the Old Trafford faithful.
Andy Cole - 121
When Sir Alex Ferguson went shopping for a forward in 1995, those who wanted to see him sign Stan Collymore over Cole were left to eat their words. An experienced goal-getter for Newcastle United, his powers carried over to United. He was a powerful force up front on his own, but when he was joined by Dwight Yorke, his abilities were enhanced as part of this formidable partnership.
Sandy Turnbull - 101
Turnbull was a classy inside forward who left defenders quaking in their boots when they had to attempt to nullify his threat. He was banned from football for life just before the First World War after being involved in a match-fixing scandal in a match between United and Liverpool.
George Wall - 100
Before Ryan Giggs made the left flank his own, it belonged to Wall and, like Giggs, he loved to score goals. In the 1906-07 campaign, he didn’t miss a single game as he finished as United’s top scorer with 11 goals.
Joe Cassidy - 100
Cassidy represented the club back when they were known as Newton Heath, and was therefore the first centurion that this great club has ever seen.
