Man Utd top scorers against Big Six: Anthony Martial remains biggest goal threat v Man City

Matt Stead

Anthony Martial has still scored the most Premier League goals against Manchester City of any Manchester United player. And against Chelsea actually.

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 (0-3 v Manchester City on October 29, 2023).
