Emile Smith Rowe rescued a point for Fulham in a lively clash at Craven Cottage after Rodrigo Muniz’s own goal had gifted Manchester United the lead.
United went ahead from a corner when Lenny Yoro’s header was deflected past Bernd Leno by Muniz.
However, Smith Rowe struck back by converting Alex Iwobi’s cross to level the contest.
Earlier, Bruno Fernandes missed a golden chance to restore United’s advantage, blasting a controversial VAR-awarded penalty high over the bar.
Ruben Amorim’s men had started strongly, with Matheus Cunha hitting the post before forcing Leno into a fine save.
Meanwhile, Fulham’s Joshua King and Iwobi also tested stand-in United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, who replaced the rested Andre Onana.
The result leaves both sides sharing the spoils after a tense, end-to-end battle in West London.
