So today I got this dumb question stuck in my head – who scored for United last match? Sounds simple right? Turns out harder than you think. Let me walk you through my painful afternoon.
The First Fail
Obviously I googled “Man U top scorers”. What a joke. First results show:
- Stats from like 5 years ago
- Useless ads pretending to be tables
- Some fan forum arguing about Ronaldo
Zero actual goal stats for this season. Total waste of 15 minutes clicking trash links.
Trying Official Stuff
Went straight to the Man United website. Should be easy? Nope. Found:
- Player profiles without current stats
- Match reports buried three menus deep
- Broken image links where numbers should be
Their search bar might as well be decoration. Typed “goal scorers” and it returned… ticket prices for next derby. What?
The App Disaster
Downloaded two football apps. First one asked for location and photo access just to show lineups? Deleted immediately. Second app:
- Made me register an account
- Spammed notifications every 2 minutes
- Showed stats locked behind premium paywall
Absolute joke. Why must I pay £6/month just to know Rashford scored a tap-in?
Finally Got Smart
Remembered this little trick from reddit. Here’s what actually works:
- Step 1: Google “current premier league scorers”
- Step 2: Find the actual league’s official site result
- Step 3: Use the filter dropdown to pick Man United
Boom. There it was – Hojlund 7 goals, Fernandes 3, McTominay 5. Took less than 30 seconds. Why didn’t I start here? Probably overcomplicated it like always.
My Dumb Mistake
Turns out club sites are useless for basic stats. League site keeps clean updated tables. Feels dumb it took 4 failed attempts to remember this. Next time you need scorers just go straight to the source. Save yourself the headache.
