Goals from Bruno Fernandes (brace), Marcus Rashford and Daniel James gave Ole Gunner Solskjaer side a comfortable first-leg win.
United took the lead in the 27th minute when Marcus Rashford’s pass caused panic in the hosts area.
With two defenders and the goalkeeper getting in one another’s way, Fernandes merely waited for the ball to fall his way before stroking home. It was his 20th of a highly-productive season for United.
Fernandes was on target again after curling his effort from 18 yards following a quick break.
After a VAR check, the goal was allowed to stand which made it 21 for the season and 52 goal involvements since Fernandes signed a year ago.
United then made it 3-0 on 65 minutes when a magnificent throughball from Fred played in Rashford, who slid the ball into the corner.
And in the 90th minute James got the fourth after he broke clear down the right and drilled a low shot through the keeper’s legs.
In other results, Wolfsberger lost 4-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur, Olympiakos beat visiting PSV 4-2 while Roma beat Braga 2-0 in Portugal.
