Jonjo Shelvey's stunning strike at the Stretford End looked to have secured all three points for Liverpool u21s, but an unfortunate late own goal from John Flanagan meant they had to settle for a point.
Shelvey's 25 yard thunderbolt gave Alex Inglethorpe's side the lead inside a couple of minutes, but Stephen Sama was shortly sent off for a professional foul and it was backs to the wall stuff after that.
The youngsters looked to have weather the storm until Flanagan inadvertently diverted a shot past the excellent Danny Ward.
The result means United finish above Liverpool and both sides will now meet in the playoffs at Old Trafford this weekend.
