United have scored 100 goals in all competitions so far this season.
The Reds were edged over the century mark by Ji-sung Park’s match-sealing strike against Arsenal on Sunday, which was the team’s 66th Premiership goal this term.
Incredibly, United had only notched 40 goals when they exited the Champions League to Benfica on December 7, averaging 1.67 goals per game over 24 games.
The heartbreak of defeat in the Stadium of Light served to reignite United’s attacking prowess, and they have plundered 60 goals in the proceeding 27 games, at an average of 2.2 goals per game.
Outside the Premiership, nine goals came in the Champions League, eight in the FA Cup and 17 in the triumphant Carling Cup campaign.
Ruud van Nistelrooy is once again the Reds’ top scorer with 24 goals this term, while fellow strikers Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha have 17 and 14 strikes apiece for the season.
