A scintillating display of attacking football ensured United’s biggest win of the season at The Hawthorns as the Reds set a new defensive record of 11 clean sheets.
Goals from Dimitar Berbatov, Carlos Tevez, Nemanja Vidic and a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo sealed a 5-0 victory over West Brom, who had their skipper Paul Robinson sent-off just before half-time.
At the other end, Edwin van der Sar kept his 11th consecutive clean sheet to break Chelsea’s 2004/05 Premier League record and ensured the Reds moved three points clear at the top of the table.
