There was no place in the squad for Romelu Lukaku, who is being chased by Inter Milan, but wantaway midfielder Paul Pogba was one of the 11 players to come on at half-time and was responsible for a huge upturn in performance.
Daniel James and Aaron-Wan Bissaka impressed in their first outings as United players, both offering an exciting and youthful approach that was attacking and direct in possession.
Rashford opened the scoring in front of the 50,000-strong crowd in Perth and youngster Garner doubled the lead with his first touch of the game in the 85th minute.
