United quartet makes Premier league history.

Paul Pogba has joined other United forward trio [Lukaku, Martial, Rashford] to  score their first  double figure goals each  so far, in the premier league campaign.

The quartet has been in blistering form since the appointment of former Forward and 1999 Champions league winning goal scorer, Solskjaer, as interim manager.

Saturday's home game against Watford saw Rashford and Martial put their 10th Premier league goal in the current campaign, joining their teammates who already had their double figure goals.

In Premier league history,  Only six sides in Premier League history have had four players with 10+ goals in a single season:

🔴 Man Utd (1995/96)
🔵 Chelsea (2009/10)
🔵 Chelsea (2010/11)
🔴 Arsenal (2012/13)
🔵 Man City (2017/18)
🔴 Man Utd (2018/19)

The Red Devils make another entry.

Man Utd are the only side in the Premier League this season with four players on 10+ goals:

✓ Romelu Lukaku (12)
✓ Paul Pogba (11)
✓ Marcus Rashford (10)
✓ Anthony Martial (10)

During the 2017/18 season, City's quartet  scored their double figured goals, which saw them clinched the title.
✓ Sergio Agüero (21)
✓ Raheem Sterling (18)
✓ Gabriel Jesus (13)
✓ Leroy Sané (10)


Arsenal 2012/13: 10+ Premier League goals:

✓ Theo Walcott (14)
✓ Santi Cazorla (12)
✓ Olivier Giroud (11)
✓ Lukas Podolski (11)


Chelsea had their own twice consecutively during  2010/11 and 2009/2010 seasons : 10+ Premier League goals:

✓ Florent Malouda (13)
✓ Didier Drogba (11)
✓ Frank Lampard (10)
✓ Salomon Kalou (10)



Chelsea 2009/2010

✓ Didier Drogba (29)
✓ Frank Lampard (22)
✓ Florent Malouda (12)
✓ Nicolas Anelka (11)


Incredible from the top two.

The historical team, Manchester United had theirs first in  1995/96 season 

✓ Eric Cantona (14)
✓ Andy Cole (11)
✓ Ryan Giggs (11)
√  Paul Scholes (10)


Solskjaer's quartet has done the same feat they had in 1995/1996 season this season with Paul, Martial, Lukaku and Rashford, following Ole's appointment as permanent manager with three year contract.
