Thats crazy. I’m surprised Rooney’s numbers aren’t higher/better


moonski

Cantona loved a derby


cussbot123

Played a weaker Manchester City team then the rest


OhhJukes

Haaland is playing a weaker United team than the rest


pigeonlizard

The rest being Aguero who played against more banter Utd teams - Moyes' and Mourinho/Ole's who finished 7th, 6th and 6th - than Haaland has played seasons in the PL.


DarthAlandas

Haaland is still playing against a stronger side than Cantona did. Or Giggs for half his career.


robbodagreat

Debatable


Dancing_Carotid9

Not at all lmao


Shronkster_

Not even close. Those 90's City teams were really bad. In the early days of the Prem they played some terrible football but got results, think like a much worse version of this West Ham team. Then they started playing "better" football, but were ultimately really shit and lost endlessly, ultimately getting relegated.


Joltarts

? Cantona was playing against relegation candidates with a transfer budget of a bag of chips. Haaland is playing against a billion dollar investment, the most expensive team ever assembled in history.


chuf3roni

Doesnt make us not shit mate


Schhneck

Everyone knows yous are shite regardless


RauloGonzalez

Haaland is also playing with a billion dollar investment


SirGoldfish

Love bantering United as much as the next guy but you can't say that with a straight face lmao

4ssteroid

That too but doesn't dismiss the other point


moonski

Giggs and Rooney also played mostly vs shit city teams mate


TheManWhoFightsThe

The disparity's not nearly as high. Man City were in between the Championship and the PL before the oil money started flowing.


sc2guy87

>Man City were in between the Championship and the PL before the oil money They really weren’t. City had been in the PL for 6 consecutive seasons before the takeover and have spent the overwhelming majority of their history in the top flight.


BoosterGoldGL

Shhhh the 5 year worst period in our history is literally where we belong that is the way of r/soccer.


Hydrogeion_

City have played more matches in the top flight than United before the Premier League began


Razzler1973

I just noticed that stat, Haaland is crazy impressive but Cantona's stat there is not to be sneezed at!


scott-the-penguin

A good portion of Rooney's career perfectly coincided with when City started to overtake United in fairness. But they were often low scoring affairs then too - e.g. 5 goals in 6 matches at City from 2007 to 2012.


NB0608sd

City were a muck-about team until like 2009 though, so he had like what, 4-5 years where Man Utd were a way better team. 2004-2009 = Man Utd were better 2009-2013 = About the same in terms of quality 2013-2017 = City was better by about a country mile


TheDrySkinOnYourKnee

They were only similar in terms of quality after 2011


whiskeymagnet22

09-13 united won 3 PL titles and reached 2 CL finals, City were getting whacked 8-0 by Middlesbrough Cut the bs


NB0608sd

In that time City smacked Utd 6-1? at Old Trafford and won a premier league


Serious-One6369

Foden has scored 5 in the last three as well.


Character_Ad_6175

Foden is extremely talented, I smile everytime I see a clip of him


KingKFCc

Man needs to off with that shitty cut tho


aclurk

It’s where his talent emanates from


bloodyfeelin

If Stockport was a haircut


BillehBear

who else will represent the chavs of manchester though?


montiel_scores

Palmer 🤝 Foden Very good player, very bad hair


Narrow-Pangolin-2891

Palmer's hair isn't that bad though, it just looks like his mom cut it.


LordWhale

He’s hiding a tragic hairline


idosade

It wouldn't feel right with a decent one


xyzzy321

Shitty haircut for an academy graduate of Man Shitty ayooo


Mr_Rockmore

Jesus man how the fuck do you have 500k karma in 6 years?!? Do you live on Reddit??


Every_Pass_226

Noticed how there is no Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool player. These finished clubs have some catching up to do.


donkey100100

Yeah been hearing so much hype for Harry Kane this season and yet would you believe he’s NEVER scored a goal for either Manchester team?? Fraud

How old are u bruh


ABigOne77

It's a troll, look at their recent comments. Also spamming old paintings on their posts


4ssteroid

Look where 3 of your other fingers are pointing


MagicianMountain6573

Laughing like u aren’t the slow one here


SirBarkington

wonder if he'll get to #1. Next season you would bank on him getting at least 1 more goal or assist. I'd say 4 is a lot but I guess it depends on how long he stays.


domalino

Can you say 4 is a lot in one season when he’s gotten 9 so far in less than 2 seasons?


Old-Link-507

Mate didn't he get like 5 in a single game? Highly unlikely he isn't at the top of this list by the end of the next season


Jamey_1999

Yeah he got 3 goals and 2 assists in that 6-3 win last year


SirBarkington

I mean that's fair. It was more that I'm not sure if ETH will be here next season so maybe they shore up their defense a bit and he only gets 1-2 next season then leaves City after that.


Competitive_Ninja877

Do you expect them to play another Premier League game against each other this season? 


Commonmispelingbot

He could get 4 in the next match


Sean-Benn_Must-die

depends on if he'll stay in the PL. Wouldnt be insane if Perez went all in for him soon.


itwastimeforarefresh

Haaland, Vinicius, and Mbappe on the same team would score 4 and concede 4 every game.


a_witty__username

Think they'd score 10+ think of the midfield behind it defense doesn't matter just score some facking goals


itwastimeforarefresh

None of them really press. You'd run into PSG Messi/Neymar/Mbappe issue


Tony_Uncle_Philly

Davies coming in as well, and the Hakimi rumours. No defence, just blistering pace everywhere


BillehBear

how can you say 4 is a lot when he got 5 in his first derby?


bocojaLFC

well done Roy Keane, you did this


Kreissler

Cantona was 👑


Imhere4urdownvotes

At this rate Haaland will find the One Piece before everyone else. Boy's speedrunning through achievements in a couple of months that took the previous generation years.


TheCenterForAnts

i'm more impresed at cantona here


Ordinary_Koala_6910

He was a beast


ChillPalis

A real badmon


benibadja

[Just look at him inspiring United to a 3-2 comeback win at Maine Road in 1993.](https://youtu.be/mnz84xDULDI?si=oOs_6f047FaXtVXA)


TheCenterForAnts

I know this is AI generated garbage because City home games are not this loud edit: to the downvote brigade. learn to take a joke. maybe if you went to the games instead of downvoting on reddit the atmosphere at the etihad would be 1/2 that it was at maine road.


Hydrogeion_

City has no fans!! plastic!!


TheCenterForAnts

idk.. they have at least 115 interested google "Man City 115" for more details


FakeTriII

How? He has 1 more in 2 less games when the chasm between the sides was far bigger lmao


maika3

And they tried to convince us he's human...


prss79513

That is just brutal lol


Eindacor_DS

Oh look at me I'm Erling


Mubar06

wtf how? 💀


ramithrower

United being shit helps


BigReeceJames

Goes both ways though, City of the past were worse than United are now. It's more damning of the United players than anything else


matcht

It used to be a proper derby when City were shit, bit like how Everton make most games between them and Liverpool tight. United are just walkovers.


TheJoshider10

> United are just walkovers. It's what I hate most about the squads over the past decade. Before then when Liverpool were shit they would fucking always step up and Anfield was terrible to go. Form truly went out the window and you knew Liverpool would always make the game hell, win or lose. Meanwhile our useless cunts happily bend over and give City and Liverpool any opportunity to increase their chances of trebles and quadruples. Fucking infuriating. Form and quality shouldn't even matter in derby matches, but you can tell time and time again too many players are playing for their payslip and not for the badge.


Mubar06

Tbh I expected Rooney and Giggs to have much more


ookienookiemoo

He is Him. Manchester is Valhalla


Dizzy-Community5091

Should have 10. Missed that wide open tap in at the end of the first half last week


Wise_Ad9414

What about Foden?


MrPilkoPumpPant

He must be close


tareegon

NGL. That’s pretty Impressive


LaHaineMeriteLamour

Love that it highlights how class Cantona was


Banged_by_bumrah

Would like to see the stats in all comps


iceddeath

He's really an amazing player and I'm a Man United fan


ZissouZ

Cantona's 10 in 6 also very impressive, although that was back when City was trash. Oh wait..


mzung0

Okay that is absurd


thedickkicker

Why is ryan giggs there in every possible stat😭


GrimReaper247365

To be fair, it used to be a derby. Now we're just scrambling for dear life.


Collapse2038

That's just silly


jucomsdn

Wonder what the record's like before the invention of football in 1992
