United qualified for the Champions League knock-out stages after coming from two goals down to draw with CSKA Moscow.
Alan Dzagoev put the Russians ahead before Michael Owen levelled with an instinctive finish. However, slack defending allowed Milos Krasic to score before the visitors' extended their lead through Vasili Berezutsky just after half time.
United were then denied what looked like a clear penalty when Darren Fletcher was fouled in the box - and the Scottish midfielder was booked for diving to add insult to injury. Federico Macheda hit the inside of the post as United piled on the pressure late on and Paul Scholes pulled a goal back after 84 minutes, heading home from Gary Neville's cross.
Antonio Valencia's deflected shot in injury time - which will go down as a Georgi Schennikov own-goal - secured the draw United needed.
