The match comes just days after the Red Devils missed out on a chance to climb to second on the standings after they were held to a 1-1 frustrating draw at Crystal Palace in mid-week.
Bruno Fernandes was on target for United, with Michael Olise scoring an equaliser for the Eagles at stoppage time with a stunning free-kick.

However, they will have to do that without three key players after two more stars were ruled out of the clash.
According to Metro UK, United will be without Anthony Martial and Diogo Dalot, who are currently recovering after picking up injuries earlier in the match.
Martial was forced off at half-time during last weekend’s Manchester derby, while Dalot is battling a muscular injury.
The duo's absence now adds to Casemiro, who is suspended from the tie after he picked his fifth yellow card of the season against Palace.
