AI Predicts Man Utd’s top goal scorers for 2025/26

Manchester United have had a torrid time in front of goal across the last few seasons, with Premier League goal difference dropping to single digits and even going negative at times.

One might be quick to assume that United have not signed players and spent the cash to solve the problem. However, it’s quite the contrary with big money being spent to sign reinforcements in attack like Anthony, Hojlund, Zirkzee and many more.

Artificial Intelligence has made a bold prediction about Manchester United’s likely goal scorers this season. Some of the predictions made by Perplixity.AI may leave you surprised.

Matheus Cunha

Brazilian winger Cunha secured his transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Manchester United and is expected to get Old Trafford abuzz with his contributions in front of goal.

Despite it being his premier season with the Red Devils, Cunha is expected to be the leading goal scorer for the side and is projected to finish the season with 16 goals.

Last season, United’s top scorer was Amad Diallo, who only managed 8 league goals.

Bryan Mbeumo

Another summer recruit, Mbeumo will likely finish the season as Amorim’s second most prolific attacker.

Perplexity suggests that the Cameroonian international will trouble the scorers on 14 occasions.

When playing for Brentford last season, Mbuemo found himself on the scoresheet 20 times across all competitions.

Bruno Fernandes

The reliable Portuguese midfield ace has delivered the goods in front of goals consistently for the Red Devils faithful.

After finishing last season tied with Amad on 8 goals in the Premier League, Bruno will of course play a pivotal role at Old Trafford.

Being the designated penalty and free kick taker, Bruno’s numbers are significantly aided but he remains a massive threat from open play too.

Amad Diallo

Being United’s top goal scorer last season, Diallo will continue to shine and deliver the results in the attacking third.

Ten goals are predicted out of the Ivorian footballer, two more than the tally he achieved in the 2024/25 season.

The player’s role could change with the arrival of new signings like Cunha and Mbuemo.

Joshua Zirkzee

The Dutchman might not begin the season right at the top of Amorim’s pecking order but across the season he will surely have opportunities.

However, a string of good performances along with the correct attitude could see Zirkzee establish a name for himself at Old Trafford.

Zirkzee is predicted to score as many as 9 goals in the upcoming season.

While the club needs to improve in front of goal they also need to improve their goalkeeping position with several keepers linked to Old Trafford.
