The home side went into the game on the back of league victories over Stoke City and Derby County.
But they found themselves 2-0 down in 12 minutes.
Buyako Saka grabbed the first after five minutes with a good finish after cutting in from the right.
Seven minutes later Emile Smith-Rowe took advantage of defensive cock-up to find the net from inside the area.
The third came in the 36th minute through James Olayinka.
United sent on Dylan Levitt for the injured Aidan Barlow at the break and the Welsh midfield player made an almost instant impact.
