Manchester United Look For 1000th Premier League Old Trafford Goal

Manchester United could reach an Old Trafford landmark if they score against Everton on Super Sunday.

Whoever notches next for United at home will be the scorer of their 1000th Premier League goal at the Theatre of Dreams.

There have been 50 different scorers for United at home in the Premier League, with Wayne Rooney leading the way with 99 goals.

The England international is out injured this weekend so will not get the chance to add to his tally against his former side.

After Rooney, Paul Scholes is the next highest scorer at Old Trafford in the Premier League era with 59 goals, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo (57), Ole Gunnar Solksjaer (53) and Ryan Giggs (50).

There have been 34 own goals scored, with Steve Watson and Anton Ferdinand both netting a couple apiece.

Former United players Wes Brown and Danny Higginbotham have also scored own goals at Old Trafford while playing for other sides.

When it comes to hat-tricks, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Dimitar Berbatov lead the way with four apiece at the Theatre of Dreams.

Berbatov scored three of his trebles in the 2010/11 season, including five in the 7-1 win over Blackburn and all three goals in the 3-2 victory over Liverpool.

Van Nistelrooy is also the leading penalty scorer at Old Trafford with 12 goals from the spot, putting him ahead of Rooney (10), Ronaldo (8) and Cantona (7).

Only one United player has scored four goals or more on two occasions in a Premier League game at the Theatre of Dreams.

Andy Cole famously netted five times in the 9-0 victory over Ipswich in 1995 and then scored four in a 5-1 win against Newcastle in 1999.

Berbatov, Rooney and Solskjaer have also scored four or more in a game at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer earned his 'super sub' tag by scoring 12 times from the bench at home for United.

Nobody has come close to matching that tally, with Diego Forlan, Javier Hernandez, Ronaldo and Teddy Sheringham the next in line with four apiece.
