Goals in each half from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford sealed all three points for United.
Mohamed Salah got Liverpool’s goal late in the second half.
Liverpool is now winless in their opening three league games this season and is 16th on Twitter points while United moves up to 14th.
United started the brighter and almost opened scoring on 10 minutes through Anthony Elanga but his effort hit the post.
Sancho then gave United the lead 16 minutes after dribbling James Milner inside the box and then rolled it into the corner.
In the 53rd minute, United doubled their lead as Rashford raced onto Anthony Martial’s through ball and beats Alisson one-on-one.
With nine minutes left Liverpool reduced the deficit thanks to Salah who headed into the net after David De Gea had stopped Fabio Carvalho’s shot.
