The Red Devils came from behind to book their place in the last-16 of the Europa League.
United went a goal down after 27 minutes as Pione Sisto scored the opener to leave the Old Trafford faithful stunned.
But a Nikolay Bodurov own goal gave United a lifeline and sparked them back into life.
Two goals from debutant Rashford put United in firm control of the match, while a penalty from Ander Herrera and a late Memphis strike wrapped up a comfortable victory for Louis van Gaal's men.
Rashford's first performance in a United shirt will be one to savour, as Memphis showed glimpses of the talent that saw Van Gaal splash £25million on him last summer.

"It's great to see them playing well. And I'm really pleased for Memphis too - he was brilliant."
