Of course, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Reds matched the mark set by our 1995 vintage, who thrashed Ipswich Town 9-0 at Old Trafford, thanks, in part, to five goals from Andy Cole.
Those two victories are, by some margin, our biggest in the top-flight since it was rebranded in 1992 - and our largest ever at Old Trafford - but how do they rank overall, in club history?
Well, the current side were just one strike away from joining the Busby Babes in hitting 10 - which they managed during our first-ever home European Cup tie, against Anderlecht, in 1956.
