Cristiano Ronaldo is the current active footballer with the 2nd most goals for Manchester United since 2021.

Ronaldo left the Red Devils in an acrimonious manner in November 2022, following a fallout between him and manager Erik Ten Hag.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Pro League club Al Nassr on a free transfer in December 2022 and he has been outstanding for the club since his arrival.

Shockingly, he is 2nd on the goalscorers' chart for Manchester United since 2021, despite leaving the club about a year ago.

Ronaldo had an impressive first season with the team, and his return brought back excitement to fans of the club.

However, the arrival of Erik Ten Hag as manager apparently turned a happy marriage into a distasteful one.

Both parties couldn't amend their burnt bridges and as such, Cristiano Ronaldo had to take the exit away from Old Trafford.

Anyway, despite him no longer being a player of Manchester United, he shockingly is still high on the club's scorers' chart since 2021.

Let's inundate on what the top 5 goal-scorers' list since 2021 for Manchester United looks like:

5) Anthony Martial - 11 goals in 52 matches

The Frenchman who was touted to do great things at Manchester United has over the years struggled at the club, with his poor performances being attributed to injury and inconsistency.

The 27-year-old joined the Red Devils from AS Monaco on September 1, 2015, for a fee of €60 million.

4) Jadon Sancho - 12 goals in 79 matches

Sancho is currently embroiled in a seemingly unresolvable squabble with Erik Ten Hag and he hasn't featured in a competitive action for Manchester United since August 26, 2023.

The 23-year-old joined the Old Trafford club from Borussia Dortmund on July 23, 2021, for a fee of €85 million.

3) Bruno Fernandes - 25 goals in 119 matches

Despite being a midfielder, Fernandes has shouldered some goal-scoring responsibilities at Manchester United.

Bruno Fernandes, who currently captains the Red Devils, has over the years been stellar for the Manchester-based club.

The 29-year-old joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon on January 29, 2020, for a fee of €65 million.

2) Cristiano Ronaldo - 27 goals in 54 matches

Ronaldo's name on this list possibly tells two stories, one, regarding Manchester United's frailties in attack, and two, the Portuguese's greatness.

Cristiano Ronaldo's attacking capabilities are second to not many across the globe, and he eschewed that to some extent in England.

The 38-year-old joined Manchester United from Juventus on August 31, 2021, for a fee of €17 million. He currently plays for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr.

1) Marcus Rashford - 36 goals in 104 matches

The Englishman was menacing in attack for Manchester United last season, scoring goals with reckless abandon.

The 2023/24 season hasn't been the best for him, and he will be hoping to regain his scoring form soon.

Rashford, 26, is an academy graduate of the Old Trafford club, and he has been impressive since he got his breakthrough to the first team in February 2016.
