The powerful strike of Sarah Zadrazil won the victory for Bayern in the final of Friday in Estoril, with Momoko Tanikawa Simi Awujo's Opier for United canceled.
Competitions consisted of halves of 15 minutes on semi -large pitches, with the tournament with a huge prize pool.
Bayern created £ 1.8 million ($ 2.5 million) for their triumph.
“It was such an important goal,” said Zadrazil.
“So I just ran to the teammates who couldn't play because we are all one big family and it was also for them that we are now champions.”

Bayern won all three of their group stage matches and then hammered Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 in the last four.
In the meantime, United beat Rivals Manchester City 2-0 in the semi-final, with the Red Devils awarded their group.
PSG defeated City 3-1 in third place, from behind after the opener of Jessica Park.
“It was really exciting, there was a lot of attacking football and it was really competitive,” said city coach Nick Cushing.
“Personally, I like the size, and I think it should stay – it's exciting for the fans and the players and I see no reason why it should not be part of the calendar.
“I think it fits more with the attacking players – it's fast and physical and great to watch.
“It enables players to play with freedom – almost like when they were children – because wherever you are, you are on the field, you are always close to the goal and our players have really enjoyed it.”
