Manchester United thrashed Fulham 4-0 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals and keep up their hopes of an unprecedented quintuple.

But they suffered an early scare when Nemanja Vidic had to track back to clear Andrew Johnson's effort off the line.

Carlos Tevez then gave them the lead in the 20th minute when heading home at the far post after Wayne Rooney had nodded on a corner.

Ten minutes later, Rooney hit the post from close range from a Park Ji-Sung cross from the right.

But Tevez made no mistake with a great second goal on 35 minutes. The Argentinean collected the ball near the half-way line and went on a mazy run to the edge of the Fulham box where he unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner.

Rooney then added the third five minutes after the re-start when he curled an excellent effort into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

Park scored the fourth - again with a deft finish - nine minutes before the end to complete the rout.

United have secured the World Club Cup and the Carling Cup already, are in control in the Premier League and have now reached the last four of the FA Cup for a record 26th time.

Their seemingly unstoppable march into the history books continues with their UEFA Champions League clash against Inter Milan at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
