The result places United 10 points behind league leaders Manchester City but eight points clear of third-placed Leicester.

Chasing down City already appeared a difficult task and the stalemate means Pep Guardiola's men would be crowned champions next weekend if they beat Crystal Palace and United lose to Liverpool.
