Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th Manchester United goal set his side on their way to an emphatic home win over Stoke.
The Portuguese winger smashed home a trademark free-kick from 25 yards before turning provider for Michael Carrick to fire in United’s second.
Dimitar Berbatov volleyed home to extend the lead before 17-year-old Danny Welbeck marked his Premier League debut with a stunning strike.
Ronaldo sealed the win with his second, another expertly taken free-kick.
Ronaldo score twice as Man Utd beat Stoke 5-0
The three points were a fitting reward for manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who was celebrating 50 years in football after making his playing debut as a 16-year-old during Queens Park’s 2-1 defeat at Stranraer on 15 November 1958.
United played with a verve the visitors never came to terms with and made light of the absence of injured Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs.
The game was barely two minutes old when a robust challenge from Amdy Faye on Tevez gave Ronaldo the type of chance he craves.
And the Portuguese winger duly stepped up and struck a blistering free-kick that dipped and swerved in front of Thomas Sorensen, who allowed the ball to slip through his grasp.
Ronaldo could have had a second soon after as United piled on the pressure, but Faye threw himself in the way of his rasping shot.
Stoke dug in and a trademark long throw from Rory Delap was headed towards his own goal by John O’Shea, only for Edwin van der Saar to claw the goalbound ball to safety.
United began to lose some of their early momentum, but Sorensen still had to be alert to deny Ji-Sung Park before Ronaldo tested the Danish keeper from distance.
Despite gaining some decent possession in attacking areas the visitors failed to create many chances and found themselves with a bigger mountain to climb when Carrick doubled United’s lead just before the break.
The midfielder collected Ronaldo’s pass on the edge of area and despite having four defenders around him, he managed to rifle home a left-footed shot from 16 yards.
After the break the home side looked to put the result beyond doubt and Berbatov did just that as he controlled a cross from Carlos Tevez and volleyed home.
Faye was then involved in a confrontation with Ronaldo as the Portugal international aimed a kick at the Stoke midfielder, an incident missed by the officials.
Angolan international Manucho was introduced as a second half substitute by United but headed wide when unselfishly played in by Ronaldo before Berbatov saw an effort cleared off the line by Danny Higginbotham.
The fourth goal eventually came courtesy of Welbeck, another substitute brought on by Ferguson, who gave Sorensen no chance with a powerful shot from 25 yards.
Ronaldo then capped a fine individual and team performance with his second free-kick two minutes from time, struck past the left-hand edge of a badly positioned wall.

Nicolas Anelka scored twice as Chelsea claimed a convincing win at rock bottom West Brom to move back above Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.
The Baggies matched the visitors until Jose Bosingwa caught out Scott Carson, smashing his shot into the top corner.
Anelka ran clear to dink home a second then made it 3-0 before the break after latching on to Salomon Kalou’s pass.
Filipe Teixeira fired over for West Brom but Chelsea were always in control despite easing up in the second half.
The win sees Chelsea regain top spot on goal difference, following Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Bolton earlier on Saturday.
The Blues’ build-up to this game was overshadowed by the furore surrounding Didier Drogba, who threw a coin into the crowd in their midweek Carling Cup defeat against Burnley and is facing Football Association charges over the incident.
He was relegated to the bench here by Luiz Felipe Scolari, who has a crippling injury list to deal with and was down to his last 18 fit senior players at the Hawthorns.
But Scolari’s side put those problems behind them with a composed performance that saw them soak up some early pressure before scoring three quick-fire goals to kill the game off before the break.
This was Chelsea’s 10th successive away victory - a new Premier League record - and also their seventh on the road in the league this season.
Yet, despite eventually being outclassed, West Brom can still feel hard done by after a bright start which saw them go close in the first minute when James Morrison broke forward and fired inches over from the edge of the box.
The home side had another sight of goal when Borja Balero fed Ishmael Miller inside the area, only for the big striker to scuff his shot harmlessly wide.
The Baggies have rightly won plenty of plaudits for their passing football this season but goals - and points - have not been forthcoming and it was a familiar tale of woe for Tony Mowbray’s men here.
Chelsea’s fluid passing game took time to get going but they were soon creating chances themselves and Scott Carson had to make smart stops from Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda.
The Baggies were still acquitting themselves well, however, but that changed when Bosingwa opened the floodgates with a shot out of nothing on 34 minutes.
There seemed little danger as the Portuguese defender cut in from the right but he surprised everyone - including Carson - with a precise shot into the top corner that the keeper got a hand to but could not keep out.
Matters got worse for West Brom four minutes later when Anelka opened his account, latching on to Malouda’s header to race away from the home defence and dink the ball over Carson.
And the Frenchman made sure of Chelsea’s victory in first-half injury-time when he met Kalou’s pass and found a gap between Carson and his near post with a clinical finish.
It was Anelka’s eighth goal in his last four league games and how Mowbray must wish he had a striker of his calibre in his squad - Anelka was the biggest difference between the two sides.
Chelsea looked in the mood to add to their tally at the start of the second half when Carson had come off his line to deny Malouda.
But the Blues knew their job was done and they took their foot off the pedal as the game wore on.
Deco fired over and Anelka had a goalbound shot blocked but West Brom had as many opportunities in front of goal in the final half hour.
The Baggies could still not find the target, however, with Teixiera firing over after running at goal and fellow substitute Do-Heon Kim volleying Paul Robinson’s cross a yard wide.
