Throughout his illustrious career, Edin Džeko has found the back of the net against numerous prestigious clubs, but Manchester United stands out as one of his favorite opponents. The Bosnian striker has scored against United while playing for three different clubs across four different competitions.
Džeko first made his mark on Manchester United during his early days at VfL Wolfsburg. In a memorable Champions League match at Old Trafford, the young striker showcased his talent by scoring against the Red Devils. This initial encounter set the stage for what would become a productive rivalry.
His next chapter came with a significant transfer to Manchester City for approximately €40 million. At City, Džeko transformed into a nightmare for United fans. One of the most notable moments came during the infamous 6-1 victory for City over United, where Džeko scored twice, further cementing his reputation as a prolific scorer against their local rivals.
Džeko's scoring prowess against Manchester United continued when he donned the Roma jersey. In the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League 2020/21, he netted goals in both legs against United, first at Old Trafford and then again at the Stadio Olimpico.
In total, Edin Džeko has scored an impressive nine goals against Manchester United. This remarkable achievement highlights his consistent ability to perform on big occasions against one of England’s most storied clubs.
Next week, Fenerbahçe is set to face Manchester United in the Europa League, marking another opportunity for Džeko to add to his tally. Should he find the net against the Red Devils, he would become the first player to score against United with four different clubs, achieving his tenth goal in total against them.
As we look forward to this exciting matchup, we wish our captain, Edin Džeko, the best of luck. With his track record, there is every reason to believe he will once again break records and leave his mark on this historic rivalry.
