The England striker latched on to Rafael's perfectly-timed cross to head past World Cup hopeful Ben Foster. Phil Jones, in for outgoing captain Nemanja Vidic, opened the scoring with a powerful header from a Robin van Persie free-kick.
Danny Welbeck finished the game off in style, slotting into the Baggies net after some intricate passing from Rooney and Marouane Fellaini.
The victory sees the Red Devils trail a Champions League spot by nine points, and David Moyes will be hoping to keep momentum going with a win over fierce rivals Liverpool next weekend.
Pepe Mel's men are left lingering in 17th place, one point from the relegation zone, and the Spaniard will be hoping for a change of fortune against Swansea next Saturday.
