Leeds levelled at the start of the second half but another two from the irrepressible Bruno and goals from Mason Greenwood and Fred provided the perfect welcome back for an Old Trafford full house.
It will have whetted the appetite, too, for new star defender Raphael Varane, whose transfer from Real Madrid was confirmed before kick-off, and he was paraded in front of the United faithful to a rapturous standing ovation that set the tone for a memorable opening to the campaign.
Another new face, Jadon Sancho, also made his Reds bow as a second-half substitute in what was a perfect afternoon for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
