If you look at players with a minimum of 10 goals in the competition for the Reds, only defensive great Nemanja Vidic has a higher percentage of goals scored from headers.
Casemiro has 11 headers from his 15 United strikes, in total, in the league and this translates to 73.3 per cent. Vidic finished with 80% (12 from 15), while seven of team-mate Maguire’s league goals for the club have been with his head, suggesting, for all his modesty, the centre-back really needs to be in any conversation of this nature.
So our no.18 is only one behind Vidic in the overall list for headed goals in the Premier League, but who holds the record?
The table has Wayne Rooney, our all-time leading goalscorer, at the summit, only one ahead though of Paul Scholes, who showed that it is not all about height but technique when it comes to perfecting the art.
