Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scored their first Premier League goals for Manchester United against six major opponents in as many days.
From the fairly obvious top five to the unlikely challenges of Javier Hernandez and Ashley Young, here’s a look at the best performances against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham since the start of the 2010/11 season. Every player has scored for United in the Premier League at Tenham Hotspur – their first season in the top six.
We’ve even broken it down into goals per opponent before confirming the total. These figures are accurate as of United’s last match against a top six team (2-1 victory over Manchester City on December 15, 2024).
