Paul Scholes is one of Manchester United's greatest-ever midfielders He was part of the Class of 92.  His first team debut came in September 1994, where he scored both goals in a 2–1 win away at Port Vale in the League Cup. The strange thing about that match was United and Sir Alex Ferguson were heavily criticised for playing a weakened team. The debate even reached MP's. Who would have known that one of the best ever English midfielders was making his debut that day? His league debut came three days later against Ipswich Town at Portman Road, a game in which United lost 3-2 but Scholes scored a consolation goal.  The 1994/1995 season was a good debut campaign for Scholes, but they finished the season without a trophy.  The 1995/1996 season was then a success for the club and Scholes. He scored 14 goals in 31 appearances. The Treble A few years later, Scholes was a key player in Manchester United's treble success. He scored one of Manchester United's two goals a

Marcus Rashford's 100th Manchester United goal was enough to beat West Ham United and provide a fitting tribute to a special 85th anniversary for the Old Trafford club. The 24-year-old powered home a firm header seven minutes from the break after Christian Eriksen had curled over a superb far-post cross, making Rashford the 22nd United player to reach 100 goals.
