Chelsea took the lead after 20 minutes as United failed to deal with a bouncing ball in the box, allowing Wieke Kaptein to set up Sjoeke Nusken for the finish.
The visitors doubled their advantage just after the half-hour mark, as Lucy Bronze found Keira Walsh to fire into the bottom corner from 20 yards out.
The points were in the bag at the hour mark as Walsh played in Lauren James to make it 3-0, quickly followed by Ellie Carpenter’s goal on the second attempt after a save by Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
Following a series of late corners, Bronze completed the scoring from close range.
Jo Potter’s promoted Crystal Palace held Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal passed up plenty of opportunities and were unable to beat their former goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin.
It was the first time that Palace had taken a point off the Gunners in the WSL.
Brighton drew 2-2 at Birmingham City with a dramatic equaliser at the death, having trailed 2-0 at one point.
Moeka Minami had the ball in the net for Brighton after just four minutes, but it was disallowed for a foul as six players ended up on the turf.
But it was Birmingham who got the early lead, as Ocean Hurtré won possession and finished well.
City went two up six minutes after the interval, with a first-time Lily Crosthwaite strike off a cross from Hurtré.
Olivia Garcia pulled one back in the 77th minute, following up on Sophie Baggaly’s save from Olaug Tvedten and Kiko Seike broke into the box to score with the last kick of the game.
Everton edged nine-player Charlton by the only goal at Goodison Park.
Charlton’s Ashleigh Neville was shown a straight red card for a 58th-minute challenge, and with 13 minutes to play, Holly McNamara forced an own goal by the Addicks’ Leighanne Robe.
Charlton finished the match with nine players after Hawa Cissoko was sent off in added time for a second yellow card.
Liverpool earned a point at home against Tottenham after trailing at half-time.
Spurs took the lead close to the break and against the run of play, as Signe Gaupset’s cross was deflected into her own net by the unfortunate Sam Kerr.
Liverpool drew level by the hour mark, with Aurelie Csillag burying a header from Fuka Nagano’s delivery.
Manchester City won at Aston Villa to become the only side with maximum points after the first two games.
Jade Rose put City ahead after Villa goalkeeper Akane Okuma failed to get any distance on a punch, and Mary Fowler doubled the lead with a shot just inside the area.
Villa’s Amalie Vangsgaard did very well to fashion a finish from a Chasity Grant cross close to half-time.
Lauren Hemp played the ball through to Khadija Shaw to put City 3-1 up and then Hemp hit an effort that brought an own goal from Mathilde Harviken right at the end.
