Manchester United crushed Arsenal by slamming eight goals past the shell-shocked Gunners at Old Trafford. The home side's blistering fans mocked Arsene Wenger with chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" as Wayne Rooney walked off with the match ball, having scored his 150th Red Devils goal, then adding two more after half-time to complete his hat-trick.

Yet Rooney's efforts did not even account for half of United's amazing tally as they scored eight for the first time since 1999.Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young, Nani and Park Ji-sung also found the net before Young finished the rout with his second. It was Arsenal's worst ever defeat against United and the first time they have passed eight in a league game since 1896.

The result leaves Wenger staring at the biggest disaster of his 15 years at the helm. For Sir Alex Ferguson, so loud in his defence of the Frenchman pre-match, this is of slight worry. His side is yet to drop a point, as are their noisy neighbours across the city.

Highlights:

Man Utd: Rooney- (3 Goals), Young - (2 Goals) Welbeck - (1 Goal), Nani - (1 Goal), Park - (1 Goal)

Arsenal: Walcott - (1 Goal), van Persie - (1 Goal).
