A breakdown of the stats behind Marcus Rashford’s 100 Man Utd goals

Marcus Rashford scored his 100th goal for Manchester United against West Ham in the Premier League this weekend.

We’ve looked into each of his goals and worked out just how he has reached the 100-goal tally. Since making his debut in 2015-16, Rashford has been an ever-present member of the United squad.

The 25-year-old has made 318 appearances for Manchester United and has hit the landmark figure in his eighth season with the club.

Following United’s 1-0 win over West Ham, Rashford explained what the record goal meant for him. He told Sky Sports: “It’s been on my mind the last couple of games. I’ve been waiting for it to come and thankfully it did today.

“It’s a completely different energy around the whole club and training ground.

“That for a start puts me in a better head space. I just feel really motivated now, last year I struggled at times with things off the pitch and wasn’t mentally right.”

The United forward has looked back to his best this season under the management of Erik ten Hag. Throughout his United career, Rashford has averaged 0.31 goals per game and also provided plenty of assists along the way.
