Manchester United welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford on Sunday, in the latest instalment of their fierce and storied rivalry.
The Red Devils will be keen to repeat their FA Cup performance against the Gunners, but will need to make a quick start. Read on for the latest Manchester United first goalscorer odds.
Manchester United first goalscorer odds: Our picks
Joshua Zirkzee – 11/1
The bookmakers are not particularly keen on any United goalscorer, but the man with the shortest odds is Joshua Zirkzee.
The Dutch international has had a tough start to life at Old Trafford, but has still had some important moments as a Red Devil.
One such moment was his crucial away goal to Real Sociedad midweek.
Frequent strike partner Ramsus Hojlund is also priced at 11/1, but with no goals for the Dane since 12 December, we think Zirkzee is much better value.
Chido Obi-Martin – 11/1
Also at 11/1 is, surprisingly, is 17-year-old striker Chido Obi-Martin, who will certainly have a point to prove.
Obi-Martin controversially left Arsenal's academy to join United's in the summer, and the teenager has even ended up in social media spats with Arsenal fans.
The talented striker netted 32 goals in 26 appearances for Arsenal's academy sides in 2023/24, but opted to move to United for more first team football.
Those opportunities have started to materialise, with Obi-Martin getting high-profile cameos against Everton and Fulham.
The Dane is not likely to start, but will be more than fired up when he inevitably comes on against his former side.
Bruno Fernandes – 12/1
The player to open the scoring last time out in this fixture was Bruno Fernandes, who almost took the net off with his hammer strike of an opener.
Fernandes is undoubtedly the United player with the most quality at present, and against a side with as steely a defence as Arsenal's, Fernandes may be the only United player with the magic to make the difference.
For that reason, Fernandes is our pick to open the scoring for United.
