Sesko, Casemiro or £65m star: Who will win the Man United race to 10 Premier League goals?

Manchester United are currently placed in third place in the Premier League table, with UEFA Champions League qualification firmly in their sights.

While they have conceded the most goals among the top-half teams, their attacking play has been nothing short of exhilarating.

United have already racked up 57 league goals, trailing only Arsenal (62) and Manchester City (63) in the scoring charts.

What makes their attack even more intriguing is the collective nature of their output, with goals shared across multiple players rather than relying on a single talisman.

Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo are leading the charge with nine league goals apiece.

Hot on their heels are Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, both sitting on eight goals. Matheus Cunha is fifth on the list with seven goals.

Hitting double figures would be a clear motivation for these players, with only six Premier League games remaining.

The question is who is best placed to reach the landmark first?

Cunha is three goals away, so associating the least probability with him seems fair.

Casemiro has never scored 10 goals in a season. His previous best tally was six goals for Real Madrid.

However, he has been highly influential for United in the final third. He is dangerous from set-pieces and has established a deadly partnership with Fernandes.

Fernandes is the designated penalty taker for the club, and it would be a surprise if he falls short of reaching the 10-goal mark.

Mbeumo made the fastest start among the group, becoming the first to reach nine goals but has not scored in over two months.

United face Chelsea next and it would be a perfect time for the £65m star to end his seven-game goal drought.

Sesko has scored five times in 11 games under interim manager Michael Carrick.

He came agonisingly close against Leeds United, only to be denied twice by Karl Darlow in what could have been a decisive performance.

Based on current form and attacking involvement, Sesko looks best placed to reach the 10-goal milestone first.

Despite facing criticism earlier in the campaign, the 22-year-old has responded with consistent and impactful displays.

Reaching double figures would cap off an impressive debut season for Sesko.
