Interesting points
– Not including this season, we’ve only had two strikers in the top ten scorers eight times out of seventeen seasons.
– Wayne Rooney’s goal tally at United has bettered Berbatov’s tally of this season in three out of the six seasons he’s played for us.
– So far, Berbatov’s goal tally is better or equal to the second highest goalscorers tally on seven out of seventeen seasons. If he scores two more goals before the end of the season, he will have a better or equal tally to the second highest goalscorer for twelve out of seventeen seasons.
– A midfielder has been one of our top two scorers in nine seasons.
