Manchester United’s goalscoring form in this season's Premier League has been ruthless, with the Reds bagging a total of 21 goals in seven matches - that's an average of three goals a game!
How does the scintillating start compare with those from our most prolific past Premier League seasons? In 1999/2000, Sir Alex Ferguson's United had scored 19 goals after seven games, while the only season in which the Reds had hit more goals at this stage was in 2001/2002, when 22 were plundered.
Interestingly, United had only netted 13 goals after the same number of games last season and it took a total of 16 matches to reach the 21 goals achieved so far this term.
Since the Premier League began, our best record in a whole season is 97 back in 1999/2000. The 2001/02 season saw United score 87 goals, while fans witnessed 89 strikes in the 2011/12 campaign.

Here are our top three players for assists, based on OPTA's definition that it is “the final pass or pass-cum-shot leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal”
