Paul Scholes opened the scoring with his 97th Premier League goal, Dimitar Berbatov's 12th goal of the season made it two and substitute Wayne Rooney completed the rout with his first touch after a seven-match absence.

In addition, it is now 1,302 minutes and over 14 games since Edwin van der Sar conceded a top-flight goal.

While not at their best, United were well on top when Mark Schwarzer offered the gift for the opening goal.

Scholes could probably bring out a DVD compilation of the goals he has scored from the training ground move that simply involves a team-mate dropping a corner into his path.

Typically, the former England star responded to Michael Carrick's invitation to shoot by launching a thunderbolt goalwards. Schwarzer should have saved but somehow allowed the ball to squirm its way into the opposite corner.

John O'Shea created the opportunity for the second, continuing his run into the box after laying a pass off to Carrick.

Scholes provided the flick on that O'Shea toed Berbatov's way. Schwarzer and Aaron Hughes closed in, neither man made contact and the United striker gleefully tapped home.

Had Berbatov not followed Carlos Tevez in having a effort disallowed for a marginal offside decision, Fulham might as well have started making their way home at the interval.

Rooney had only been on the field for two minutes after replacing Berbatov and had yet to touch the ball when Park Ji-sung let fly with a low cross-shot. He did not need a settling-in period though as he tapped home at the far post.
