3 highest scoring Manchester United victories in recent memory

#2 Manchester United 7-1 Roma

Ronaldo gave Roma's defenders a tough time and scored a brace

The Italian giants led by talismanic captain and hero Francesco Totti looked to cause mayhem at Old Trafford in the return leg of their UEFA Champions League. On April 10, 2007, United came into this clash having trailed 2-1 on aggregate from the first leg in Rome. It was expected to be a tough evening for the Red Devils given that the Italian side generally had strong defensive capabilities.

After a nervy start, striker Alan Smith set the ball rolling in the 17th minute to level matters on aggregate. Cristiano Ronaldo and dependable Michael Carrick each scored a brace on the night to give United an unassailable advantage over Roma. Rooney and left-back Patrice Evra were also on the scoresheet as United sealed an emphatic 7-1 win. Daniele De Rossi managed Roma's only goal of the night in the 69th minute. The win ensured United's safe passage into the semi-final of the competition.
