The 38-year-old surpassed Chelsea stopper Petr Cech's 2004-2005 record of 925 minutes without conceding a goal and United also set a new record of 11 successive clean sheets, breaking the Blues' record of four years ago.

First half goals from Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez - after a Scott Carson blunder - effectively killed the game as a meaningful contest. Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo (2) piled on the agony for the Baggies in the second period to earn the Red Devils a sixth successive league win.

But Albion were also handicapped by the harsh sending-off of Paul Robinson - the ninth red card of his career - five minutes before the interval for a challenge on United midfielder Ji-Sung Park.

United went ahead after 22 minutes through Berbatov, who exchanged passes with Michael Carrick and timed his run to perfection before drilling a low shot past Carson.

Albion found themselves reduced to 10 men after 40 minutes when Robinson was sent off for a challenge on Park.

A minute before the interval a mistake by Carson led to Tevez doubling United's lead.

The England keeper failed to hold onto an inswinging Giggs free-kick and Tevez smashed the loose ball into the roof of the net.

Ryan Donk crashed a shot against the post from a narrow angle for Albion but after an hour Vidic grabbed United's third.

Giggs floated the ball into the near post and Vidic was first to react with a fierce header. Ronaldo made it 4-0 after 65 minutes with a simple finish and completed the rout eight minutes later.
