Javier Hernandez is the best scorer on the planet in 2011, according to statisticians IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics).
United's Mexican marksman heads a prestigious 'World goal getter 2011' list released this week, in front of Porto's Colombian international Radamel Falcao and Villarreal's former Reds striker Giuseppe Rossi.
Neymar and Lionel Messi are further down the pecking order with Hernandez's scoring exploits for United and Mexico sending him to the summit.
The table refers only to goals at international level and in continental competition for the player's club side with Chicharito managing 13, two clear of nearest challenger Falcao.
The statisticians' top domestic goalscorer is another player with United connections - Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Arsene Wenger has insisted in a press conference on Arsenal's pre-season tour to Kuala Lumpur that Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri will both stay at the club this summer.
Manchester United have been named as the most valuable sports team in the world by Forbes magazine.
The Red Devils, who are valued at $1.86 billion (£1.16bn), beat NFL team Dallas Cowboys and the New York Yankees to top the list. United's advertising revenue has a big impact on their valuation, with the club having an £80m, four-year deal with shirt sponsor Aon and a £302.9m, 13-year deal with Nike.
Out of the top 50 sports teams in the annual list, all 32 NFL sides were included, while just eight football clubs from around the world made it.
Spanish giants Real Madrid are in fifth place, making them the second most valuable football club, significantly ahead of rivals Barcelona, who are in 26th spot. Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea are in seventh and 46th place respectively.
Bayern Munich, who are in 19th, AC Milan in 34th, and Juventus who were placed 49th, complete the list of football clubs in the illustrious rankings
