United's top scorer and assist-maker

Friday 06 January 2023 16:55

Marcus Rashford is turning the battle to be Manchester United's top scorer in 2022/23 into something of a one-horse race.

The homegrown forward is well clear at the top of the charts with 12 strikes in all competitions, following his electric form since the restart.

Seven of the England international's goals have come in the Premier League and he is seven clear of second-placed Anthony Martial, who had to deal with some time on the sidelines before the winter World Cup.

When it comes down to assists, again there is a clear leader in this metric, when analysing United's output this season.

Although various sources judge them in different ways, FBREF.com has Christian Eriksen on eight since his summer arrival at Old Trafford.

The Denmark playmaker has been extremely dangerous with his set-piece delivery, with six of his set-ups coming in the league.
