Manchester United could become the first team in Premier League history to score 2,000 goals if they find the back of the net against Norwich City on Sunday.

United currently sit on 1,999 goals scored in the history of the Premier League and have been edging towards the historic milestone for some time.

Upon Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - who has contributed 91 of the goals himself - taking charge of the club last December, United became a much more attacking side with an average of 2.5 goals per game in his first eight matches in the hotseat.

They were initially on course to reach the landmark last season but as United's form dwindled the goals dried up and they have continued to struggle since.

United have only scored more than one goal in a game in all competitions once this season and that came in the opening weekend thrashing of Chelsea.

Regardless, United are far and away the top goal scorers in Premier League history and it will likely be some time before another team reaches the 2,000 mark.

Arsenal are in second with 1,858 goals, followed by Liverpool on 1,795 and Chelsea who have scored just six less on 1,789.

There is then a big drop off with Tottenham scoring 1,562, Man City 1,403 and Everton are on 1,365.

Unsurprisingly, United are trail blazers in the Premier League record books.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Middlesbrough in 2005 to score United's 1,000th Premier League goal, becoming the first team to reach that tally as well.

They were also the first team to score 1,000 goals at home - when Anthony Martial netted against Everton in 2016.

United are also not far away from another massive goal scoring record. They currently sit on 9,961 goals scored in their entire history, meaning they are only 39 goals away from hitting 10,000.
