West Ham enjoyed a period of late dominance which helped deliver their crucial equaliser.
Bruno Fernandes covered a lot of ground at Old Trafford, but could not quite see his side over the line.
Match report
The hosts immediately came out on the front foot but the Hammers broke forward when they could and had the first big opportunity, as Aaron Wan-Bissaka pulled the ball back for Mateus Fernandes to hit a first-time shot that Casemiro deflected behind.
Jean-Clair Todibo and Bruno Fernandes then had an attempt blocked at either end, before Casemiro got himself in the way again to deny Jarrod Bowen and El Hadji Malick Diouf scuffed his attempt harmlessly wide.
Alphonse Areola was forced into the game’s first save in the 25th minute, when he tipped over a looped Bryan Mbeumo effort that looked destined for the top corner. The Hammers just about survived moments later, as Wan-Bissaka cleared Joshua Zirkzee’s attempt off the line, Todibo blocked Matheus Cunha’s overhead kick and Bruno Fernandes fired agonisingly wide.
The hosts continued to build momentum although Konstantinos Mavropanos and Todibo denied Cunha and Bruno Fernandes respectively, before Bowen danced his way into the Man United box but saw his shot saved by Senne Lammens.
Mbeumo had two promising openings early in the second half, yet Freddie Potts made a vital challenge to deny the winger and Tomáš Souček stood firm when he did get a shot off, before Luke Shaw blazed his shot over.
Soungoutou Magassa then hit the side netting at the other end, but Man United made the breakthrough just before the hour mark when Casemiro’s attempt was deflected to Diogo Dalot, who stayed calm to convert. Casemiro was on hand again to stop a Potts effort, before Mavropanos was in position to deflect Cunha’s shot over.
Andy Irving came on as part of a double change and immediately took a corner that saw Bowen’s flick cleared off the line by Noussair Mazraoui, but Magassa was perfectly placed to score his first West Ham goal to equalise in the 84th minute.
Debutant Mohamadou Kanté blazed his wide and Bruno Fernandes struck off-target twice late on, as the Hammers recorded the second draw from their last three, which keeps them in the relegation zone. Man United’s third draw from their last five PL leaves them eighth.

Post-match comments
West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen was pleased with his side's performance, saying they "wanted to show a reaction" to their loss to Liverpool last time out.
"We always knew it was going to be a difficult game coming here," he told Sky Sports.
"They came off the back of a really good result away at Palace and we were on the end of another disappointing result.
"We wanted to show a reaction and I think we showed that from going a goal down to getting back into the game.
"I was really proud of the team tonight. The way they fought, the way they ran, and got a deserved point."
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim was frustrated that his side let go of a game in which they felt in control.
"We had good moments and we lost control a little bit in the first half and a little bit in the second half after the goal," he told Sky Sports.
"We should have closed the game when we scored the first one.
"The game was in control. We knew it. Let's defend far from the box. We knew set pieces would be a problem with the difference in height in the team but we could do it.
"We could maintain the ball after the first goal and again we lost two points."
Manchester United goalscorer Diogo Dalot was delighted to get on the scoresheet, but says he'd swap his goal for a victory given the chance.
"It's a great feeling. Any time you have the opportunity to score for a club like this, it's amazing. Especially at the Stretford End," he told Sky Sports.
"But in the end, the taste is not the same, I would change that for the three points without thinking. But I'm happy to help the team in any way, whether that's with a goal or whatever.
"But this type of result, it just gives you something to look at. We cannot be winning at home with 30 minutes to go and not controlling the game."
