Here you will find how many goals, assists and combined goals and assists our players have contributed since we first won the title against in 2007 up until the season just gone.

To give some perspective, the percentage of the total goals scored in that season has also been given.

Louis Saha has been included because he was our third highest scorer in 2007, accumulating his highest ever league goal tally, although it should be noted that the conclusions drawn obviously don’t take in to consideration his entire United career, rather just one season.
