Into The Semis The Red Devils Go ...

Manchester United remain on course for an historic quintuple after easing past Fulham into the FA Cup semi-finals.

Carlos Tevez headed the opener after 20 minutes and added his second before half-time with a 25-yard power drive. Fulham's Andrew Johnson saw an effort bundled off the line by Nemanja Vidic, but they ended outclassed as United sealed another Wembley appearance.

Wayne Rooney got the third with a low finish after 50 minutes and Ji-Sung Park's precise shot completed the win.

United had some anxious moments early on when Fulham threatened a shock, but Sir Alex Ferguson's side rode their luck to eventually show the quality that has brought an unprecedented haul of five trophies into their sights. (BBC Sport)
