Manchester United’s attack is already looking like a serious goal-scoring battle, and the race for the club’s top scorer could be one of the most exciting storylines of the 2026/27 season. 👀⚽🔥
The big question is: which of these seven attackers will finish the season on top?
🇸🇮 Benjamin Šeško
🇨🇲 Bryan Mbeumo
🇧🇷 Matheus Cunha
🇬🇭 Amad Diallo
🏴 Marcus Rashford
🇳🇱 Joshua Zirkzee
🏴 Shea Lacey
And if I had to put my money on one player right now, Benjamin Šeško is the name I’m backing. 🎯🔴
Šeško already has an important advantage: he is the natural centre-forward in Michael Carrick’s attacking options. He scored against Everton before finding the net again in United’s Champions League opener against Sabah, where he finished a brilliant move involving Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes.
🔥 Mbeumo is the biggest threat. The Cameroon international finished his first United season with 12 goals in all competitions, level with Šeško, and he has already shown his ability to score from the right side. He also opened his 2026/27 Premier League account against Ipswich before scoring again against Everton.
💥 Cunha cannot be ignored either. The Brazilian has already scored against Sabah and Fulham this season, showing that he can produce goals even when operating away from the traditional No.9 position.
👀 Then there is Shea Lacey, who could become the surprise package. His stunning first senior goal against Brighton won United’s September Goal of the Month vote by a huge margin, taking 73% of the fan vote. 🌟🔥
With Rashford, Amad and Zirkzee also competing for minutes and goals, United have plenty of firepower. The club’s official 2026/27 squad confirms all six senior forwards are part of the Premier League squad, while Lacey remains eligible as an Under-21 player.
🏆 MY PREDICTED RANKING
🥇 Benjamin Šeško 🇸🇮 — My favourite to finish top
🥈 Bryan Mbeumo 🇨🇲 — Extremely dangerous and consistent
🥉 Matheus Cunha 🇧🇷 — Capable of producing big numbers
4️⃣ Marcus Rashford 🏴 — If he gets consistent minutes, watch out 👀
5️⃣ Amad Diallo 🇬🇭 — Quality but likely to share minutes
6️⃣ Joshua Zirkzee 🇳🇱 — Needs a consistent run
7️⃣ Shea Lacey 🏴 — The wildcard who could shock everyone 🌟
The fascinating part? Šeško and Mbeumo were already United’s joint-leading scorers last season with 12 goals each. Now the battle is on again, and this time one of them could pull away. 🔥🔴
My prediction: ŠEŠKO finishes as Manchester United’s top scorer. 🎯👑
But if Mbeumo gets hot, this race could go right down to the final weeks of the season. 😮💨🔥
Who are you backing to finish as United’s top scorer? 👇🔴
