Manchester United players with 25 to 99 appearances From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manchester United Football Club is an English association football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester. The club was formed in Newton Heath in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR F.C., and played their first competitive match in October 1886, when they entered the First Round of the 1886–87 FA Cup.[2] The club was renamed Manchester United F.C. in 1902, and they moved to Old Trafford in 1910.[3] The club won its first significant trophy in 1908, the First Division title. Since then, the club has won a further 19 league titles, along with 13 FA Cups and six League Cups, among many other honours. They have also been crowned champions of Europe on three occasions by winning the European Cup.[3][4] The club was one of 22 teams in the Premier League when it was formed in 1992. They experienced the most successful period in their history under the management of Alex Ferguson, who guided the team to 13 league titles in 21 years.[5][6]

Carlos Tevez made 99 appearances in two seasons with Manchester United. He is the only United player to make exactly 99 appearances for the club.[1]

Since playing their first competitive match, 984 players have appeared in competitive first-team matches for the club, many of whom have played between 25 and 99 matches (including substitute appearances). Carlos Tevez fell one short of 100 appearances for Manchester United after he joined the club as a free agent in August 2007 before departing for rivals Manchester City in 2009, and is the only player to make exactly 99 appearances for the club.[7] Billy Whelan, Arnold Mühren and Diego Forlán all played 98 matches in all competitions for Manchester United.[8][9][10] Five players have appeared in exactly 25 matches for the club: Alex Menzies, Tom Homer, Scott McGarvey, Peter Barnes, and Facundo Pellistri.[11][12][13][14][15]

Darren Ferguson, Jesper Blomqvist, Gabriel Heinze, and Owen Hargreaves are among the former players who have been awarded league medals; Hargreaves was also in Manchester United's victorious starting XI for the 2008 UEFA Champions League final.[16][17][18][19] A number of other notable players have made between 25 and 99 appearances for the club, Michael Owen, a Ballon d'Or winner with rivals Liverpool, joined Manchester United late in his career and appeared in 52 matches.[20] Laurent Blanc, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Alexis Sánchez, Edinson Cavani, and Raphaël Varane are among the players who had decorated careers before joining Manchester United and reaching the 25 appearance milestone.[21][22][23][24][25][26] Some players who were on loans with the club, such as Wout Weghorst and Sofyan Amrabat, have reached the 25 appearance milestone.[27][28]

As of 9 May 2026, a total of 260 players have played between 25 and 99 competitive matches for the club. Among current players, Ivorian winger Amad Diallo is the closest to 100 appearances; he has played in 97 matches for Manchester United.[29] The most recent player to make his 25th appearance for the club is Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who reached that milestone on 20 March 2026.[30]
