United ran riot after Young's goal, with Mason Greenwood netting a brace while Juan Mata converted from the spot in a crazy 10-minute period to register a huge win.
It has been a near-perfect week for United, who have now won three matches in a row following their successes against Tottenham and Manchester City in the Premier League.
They now shift their attention back to the Premier League on Sunday with Everton visiting Old Trafford.
