Manchester United were on the front foot as they dominated possession but the first goal came via a penalty when defender Simon Kjaer pulled Juan Mata down in the penalty box.
Pogba stepped up and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way for the opener. The second goal came in four minutes later as Sener Ozbayrakli charged Anthony Martial from behind in the box and the referee again pointed to the spot.
The Frenchman got up and took the resultant penalty and scored to make it 2-0 as the Red Devils drove into cruise control.
On the stroke of half-time Manchester United made it 3-0 when Wayne Rooney latched onto a loose ball, rolled it into the path of Jesse Lingard who in turn laid it off for Pogba who finished with aplomb from nearly 25yards.
At the restart Chris Smalling was given a well deserved rest as Marcos Rojo replaced him probable because of the game against Chelsea at the weekend while Nigerian star Emmanuel Emineke came on for Simon Kjaer.
But it was the home side that took the lead as Rooney setup Lingard and he made no mistake as he fired into from the edge of the box to make it 4-0.
A small comic relief played up as Robin van Persie showed his torn Fenerbahce jersey but that did not deter the Dutchman from scoring his side’s consolation goal.
Nigerian star Emenike played in a sumptuous pass into the path of van Persie and he finished with a tap-in and that drew applauds from both the home and away crowd, including sir Alex Ferguson who was at the stadium to witness the game.
