The Editor of MUFCINFO.COM Interview & article by Mark Graham, Editor, Record Keeper & Official Reporter @ MUFCINFO.COM.
 All Time Manchester united Single Season Goalscoring Records

 

With Wayne Rooney's wonderful season set to continue tomorrow after SAF confirmed the England striker was fit, mufcinfo.com compiled a list of record goalscorers for Manchester United in the League & All competitions to see how our Wazza fits in with his 33 goals so far this term.

 

Already 7th in the Single Season League Goals chart with 26 league strikes, Rooney also sits 7th in the Overall Total Season Goals on 33, one more goal would see him better such a United great as the Smiling Executioner Tommy Taylor who netted 34 times for the Reds in 1956/57 having made 45 appearances.

 

Rooney hopefully will then surge toward the top five with Denis Law (record holder with 46 goals 42 games) & Ruud Van Nistlerooy 44 goals, 52 games occupying four of the available 5 slots, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and his haul of 42 goals in 49 appearances in the 2007/08 season taking the final but third position in the top five.

 

We here, as well as the millions world wide wish Wazza the best of luck.
