5) Paul Scholes, Dennis Viollet – 7
A world class midfielder born in Manchester, Paul Scholes always seemed to relish this fixture for United, scoring seven goals against City in his long Old Trafford career.
4) Brian Kidd, Joe Spence, Eric Cantona, Colin Bell – 8
A number of big names here, with Eric Cantona another United legend who performed well in the big games, scoring eight times against neighbours City in his time as a United player. Brian Kidd also features as a player who represented both clubs in his career, both as a player and as a coach.
3) Bobby Charlton – 9
One of the great English players of all time Bobby Charlton is a Manchester United legend and certainly made his mark in this fixture with nine goals in total.
2) Francis Lee, Joe Hayes – 10
A Manchester City legend, Francis Lee was a huge player for the club back in the 60s and 70s, scoring ten times in this fixture. Joe Hayes matched that and is another great name from City’s history.
1) Wayne Rooney – 11
A hugely impressive feat for a modern great of the game, Wayne Rooney’s long career at Manchester United has seen him notch up eleven goals in this fixture, including one of the finest goals ever seen in the Premier League as he scored the winner from an overhead kick at Old Trafford in 2011.
