United were well off the pace in the first half but came alive in the second as four goals in a devastating 11-minute spell blew AZ away.
Ashley Young’s superb finish from an acute angle kicked United into gear after the interval, and within five minutes the lead was doubled thanks to Greenwood’s instinctive low finish.
With the floodgates well and truly open, United plundered more goals as Juan Mata drilled home a penalty and Greenwood doubled his tally with a clinical near-post drive.
United’s fourth group-stage victory sees them progress as group winners ahead of runners-up AZ, and ensures Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will be seeded in Monday’s round-of-32 draw.
