Toone, who has been at the club since the reformation of its women's team in 2018, rifled home from 20 yards in firsthalf stoppage-time to set United on the way to their first major women's trophy.
A smart header from veteran striker Rachel Williams shortly after the restart gave Marc Skinner's side some breathing space before a brace from Spain international Lucia Garcia made sure of the victory.
It has been a challenging season for United, who narrowly lost out to Chelsea in both the Women's Super League (WSL) title race and the FA Cup final last term. The Reds are currently 17 points adrift of league leaders Manchester City and are out of the running to qualify for Europe, leading to plenty of speculation over whether manager Skinner will stay in post after his current contract expires this summer.
