Manchester United fans don't need to be reminded about the identity of the Premier League's current top goalscorer. Clue: he's a big Norwegian who plays for Manchester City and he's virtually wrapped up this season's Golden Boot award already.
It's an indication of United's demise how long they've gone without a Golden Boot winner. It's nearly a decade since Robin van Persie scooped 26 league strikes in a phenomenal 2012/23 season, which was also the last time United won the league.
A decade before that it was another Dutchman in United colours who made it his personal obsession to win the prize and, between 2001 and 2006, enjoyed a rivalry with Arsenal's Thierry Henry that drove both men to greater heights.
