Manchester United have equalled a 100-year-old scoring record, when Sir Alex Ferguson’s side scored four goals against Middlesbrough in the Premiership at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The Red Devils, who won 4-1, had also scored four goals in each of their last three games against – Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa and Dynamo Kiev.
A brace from Carlos Tevez and a goal each from Nani and Rooney quelled the challenge from Gareth Southgate’s side at the Theatre of Dreams.
Ahead of the game, Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo had played down the feat in the offing that was set way back in 1907-08.
"Of course, if you have an opportunity to score more goals you should take it because the fans enjoy the game more and the players' confidence increases," he said.
"But I don't worry about how many goals we get, I am only interested in how many points we get. It could be half-nil for all I care just as long as we win."

Allyuh men could talk...excepting Tevez' second, those were well taken goals. Tremendous game by Rooner (goal, two assists) including the cheeky back heel to set up Tevez' first, and his industry to set up the second. He was a classic opportunist waiting for Downing to dance himself into trouble where Nani poached it off his feet straight to Rooney. Then of course there's Nani's magnificent opening strike to string up Schwarzer.
