Haaland has a great opportunity to become the Premier League’s top scorer in a season, in all competitions.
With five goals against Leipzig, Erling Haaland has 39 goals in all competitions for Man City this season, equal to Thierry Henry’s record for Arsenal in 2003/04. The Norwegian striker has more than 10 games left and is on track to break the all-time record held by Mohamed Salah, Ruud Van Nistelrooy (with 44 goals).
In the 2017/18 season, Mohamed Salah returned to the Premier League with Liverpool and immediately surprised the media and fans with his impressive performance ( 44 goals in 52 games ). 32 of 44 goals of the “Egyptian King” came in the English Premier League, only 2 behind the record of 34 goals of two legends Andy Cole (1993/94) and Alan Shearer (1994/95).
In the 2002/03 season, Van Nistelrooy was also in unstoppable form ( 44 goals ). The Dutch striker scored 25 goals in the Premier league, 14 goals in the Champions League (including the qualifying round), the rest were goals in the domestic cup. This is also the season that brought home the only English Premier League title in the career of the former player born in 1976.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a MU member who won the Premier League and Champions League in the 2007/08 season. Also in this season, CR7 has scored 42 goals despite playing on the wing. This is also the best achievement of his career at Old Trafford.
In the 2017/18 season, Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah created an exciting race to the Premier League Top Scorer award. 30 of the English striker’s 41 goals have been scored in the Premier League. Since then, this is still an achievement that no English player has ever achieved.
Andy Cole scored 34 goals in the Premier League with Newcastle and 7 more in domestic cup competitions, thereby ending the 1993/94 season with a total of 41 goals . Witnessing the sublime performance of the English striker, MU spent 9.6 million euros to bring him back to Old Trafford in the next season.
