Chelsea was completely dominant in the first half, striking the bar and forcing United goalkeeper David De Gea into numerous saves.
But after the halftime break, Jadon Sancho pounced on a poor touch from Jorginho to break through and slide past Edouard Mendy to give United a surprise lead.
Chelsea did level midway through the second half as Jorginho redeemed himself, coolly slotting home a penalty.
The draw means Chelsea moves a point clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, while Manchester United move up to eighth.
However, after the game, De Gea said “it is not enough to draw.”
“We already improved against Villareal, we won, qualified and now we played a very good team away from home. The effort of the team was very good,” he told Sky Sports. “They had the best chances. For me it is not enough, a draw. We are in a tough moment. I am proud of the effort of the team.
“On the pitch, in the goal, I was feeling danger for nearly the whole game. We defended well, they missed big chances and the one they give us a chance we score. It is not enough to draw but at the moment it is a big point.
“The last games before we were conceding three or four goals. We are improving. This is just two games. At least now we are defending well. We are fighting for every ball. We are a team.”
