Manchester United's Big Six Assassins: Rashford Reigns Supreme

When it comes to terrorising England's elite, one Red Devil stands alone. Marcus Rashford has carved out a remarkable record against the Premier League's traditional powerhouses, accumulating 26 goals against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham since the 2010/11 campaign.

The winger's tally sits comfortably clear of second place, held by Wayne Rooney's 22-goal haul. That's a fitting monument to the former captain's Big Six pedigree—the man who knew how to deliver when the stakes were highest. Third belongs to Bruno Fernandes, who's managed 15 so far, though the Portuguese midfielder's penalty-taking prowess suggests he'll have plenty of opportunities to climb that ladder in years to come.

Breaking down the breakdown, Rashford's dominance becomes even more apparent. He's plundered six against Arsenal, five apiece against Chelsea and Liverpool, and five more against Manchester City. His Spurs record reads six as well—the man simply doesn't do quiet nights at White Hart Lane.

Anthony Martial rounds out the top five with 13 goals across these fixtures, whilst Robin van Persie's ten-goal return is a reminder of his productive spell in a United shirt. Cristiano Ronaldo managed seven, though his limited appearances in this era partly explain that figure.

The deeper you dig into the ledger, the more familiar names emerge. Javier Hernandez and Juan Mata both sit on six, Jesse Lingard, Bryan Mbeumo, Nani and Ashley Young on five. Ander Herrera, Scott McTominay, Jadon Sancho and Danny Welbeck each reached four.

The data captures every goal scored in these fixtures from the moment the Big Six designation became standard, right through to United's thrilling 3-2 victory over Liverpool on May 3, 2026. It's a record that tells the story of United's competitive history against their fiercest rivals—and Rashford's place at the very top of it.
