Marcus Rashford was sensational in setting up the opener, working Nathan Ake and Diego Rico before feeding Pogba, who slid into the box to stab it home.
Pogba scored his second in the 34th, nodding an Ander Herrera cross past Begovic.
Rashford got one of his own just before halftime, lunging to get on the end of an outside-of-the-boot pass from Anthony Martial.
But hold on, as there was more time in the half and Ake nodded a David Brooks flick beyond the reach of David De Gea to make it 3-1.
Lukaku came into the match following a two-match absence on compassionate leave, and let the ball take a bounce before poking past Begovic.
Bailly saw red for his 79th minute scissor tackle of Ryan Fraser.
