A Marcus Rashford free-kick got United off to the perfect start during the match, before Ander Herrera`s 30-yard deflected thunderbolt doubled the Reds lead, Xinhua news agency reported.
Victor Camarasa pulled a goal back from the penalty spot after Rashford handled the ball in the box, before Martial made it 3-1 before the interval.
Jesse Lingard added a fourth from the spot early in the second half, before scoring the fifth in the stoppage time.
