Wayne Rooney holds the record for most goals for United (253, in case you’ve forgotten) and was often regarded as a streaky striker, producing purple patches of form where the ball kept on hitting the back of the net. But even Wazza couldn’t match the scoring runs of his predecessor in our no.10 shirt: Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Dutchman still holds United’s club record for goals in consecutive Premier League games, a 10-game marker that stood for the whole division until Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy surpassed it in November 2015 when he netted against United to register in an 11th straight league game.
