Van Persie v Rashford: How do the 30-goal seasons compare?

The last time a United reached the total was during our title-winning 2012/13 campaign, when Robin van Persie finished the season with 30 strikes to his name.

Marcus still has two matches remaining - Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham and the FA Cup final against Manchester City on 3 June - and could surpass the great Dutch striker's total by the time the 2022/23 campaign is over.

But with 54 matches under his belt this term so far, Rashford has reached the magical 30-goal mark, prompting us to compare his 2022/23 output to van Persie's 2012/13, thanks to Opta.
