Marcus Rashford is brilliant against fellow members of the Big Six and has almost caught Wayne Rooney. Jadon Sancho is just missing a goal against Arsenal.
From a fairly obvious top five to an unlikely challenge from Javier Hernandez and Ashley Young, here is every player to have scored for Man Utd in Premier League matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham since the start of the 2010/11 season – the first in which they comprised the top six.
We have even broken it down into goals against each opponent before confirming the overall totals. These numbers are accurate as of the last Man Utd game versus a Big Six side (2-2 v Spurs on April 27, 2023).
