And the result was cheered by every United supporter in Old Trafford.
Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard all came off injured but United still managed to pick up a point and could have even beaten their arch-rivals.
It means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has still only lost one match since replacing Jose Mourinho – to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
And every Manchester United fan could be heard inside Old Trafford chanting for Solskjaer.
This is how the song goes, to the tune of Waterfall by the Stone Roses:
“Ole’s at the wheel,
“Tell me how does it feel,
“We’ve got Sanchez, Paul Pogba and Fred,
“Marcus Rashford, a Manc born and bred,
“Duh du, du du du du du
“Duh du, du du du du du
“The greatest of English football,
“We’ve won it all.”
United slipped out of the top four due to only getting a point and Arsenal beating Southampton.
But the Red Devils will look to get back to winning ways on Wednesday when they travel to Crystal Palace.
Solskjaer acknowledged the support of the crowd after the match.
He explained: “Today we saw Man United’s team spirit and togetherness, the crowd and us together.
“I have to say we keep praising the away fans when we come back with a win, but today the [home] fans were unbelievable.
“For the whole 90 minutes. The fans, they were the 12th man today.”
He also felt United has the best chances in the match against Liverpool.
He said: “We’ve come out with so many positives. I cannot remember David having to make a save, so we kept them out of it and we probably created one or two massive moments that we could have scored.
“Chris, if he was a striker, he would have got his studs on that one.
“Jesse’s chance, before he got the recurrence of his injury, was the biggest.”
