Leah Galton has scored three goals for United this seasonManchester United scored five against Aston Villa in a one-sided affair at Old Trafford in the Women's Super League.
Katie Zelem lashed into the roof of the net to open the scoring for the hosts.
Leah Galton's classy finish followed that on 28 minutes before Ella Toone's sweeping cross found Alessia Russo waiting to poke home at the back post.
A stunning strike from Ona Batlle and a late Rachel Williams tap-in capped off a dominant performance from United.
Marc Skinner's side sit top of the table before Chelsea and Arsenal play later on Saturday, while this was Aston Villa's first defeat in three games.
