Cristiano Ronaldo insists Manchester United will not go chasing records, only the win, when they host Middlesbrough.
Another four goals for Sir Alex Ferguson's side at Old Trafford on Saturday would emulate a 100-year-old scoring record set in 1907-08 by a side which included the great Billy Meredith.
United have scored a quartet of goals in each of their previous three games against Wigan, Aston Villa and Dynamo Kiev.
Ronaldo is aware of the feat that can be achieved this weekend, but will only be going after the points against Gareth Southgate's Boro.
"Of course, if you have an opportunity to score more goals you should take it because the fans enjoy the game more and the players' confidence increases," he said.
"But I don't worry about how many goals we get, I am only interested in how many points we get. It could be half-nil for all I care just as long as we win."
Rio on a roll
Ronaldo has scored four of United's last 12 goals but he is more impressed with the goalscoring prowess of Rio Ferdinand in recent weeks.
The defender has already equalled his seasor="0" an-high of three goals, and Ronaldo observed: "I have kept telling Rio he has great qualities.
"He is tall and strong and exceptionally good in the air. I hope he scores a lot more, more than me if he can. I would be very happy if he did that."
it's good to just get the win, that's all that matters, if we can entertain and score goals great but it's not the most important thing.
