That is all from our live coverage of tonight's game. It was an end to end contest in the end and it was a pleasure to bring it to you.

23:27 (IST)15 JAN 2017

Manchester United's title chances also took a hit despite the point. They are now 12 points behind leaders Chelsea and 5 points away from the Top 4. 

23:27 (IST)15 JAN 2017

Stat Attack: This is the first time both games between Manchester United and Liverpool have ended in draws since the 1987-88 season.

23:25 (IST)15 JAN 2017

The result has marginal effect on the league table with Liverpool leapfrogging Arsenal into third place and find themselves 7 points behind leaders Chelsea. The Reds are level on points with second-placed Tottenham Hotspur but are behind on goal difference. 

23:24 (IST)15 JAN 2017

Liverpool looked to have this one in the bag after Milner's opener but Zlatan did not agree with that. 

23:23 (IST)15 JAN 2017

What a game it was, I am still catching my breath. After a slow start, the game burst to life and only improved from there. 

23:22 (IST)15 JAN 2017

Zlatan Ibrahimovic proves to be the saviour for Manchester United once again after Liverpool opened the scoring through James Milner's penalty.

23:21 (IST)15 JAN 2017

90+4' Peep Peep Peep!! Full-Time: Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool

23:20 (IST)15 JAN 2017

90+3' What a chance for Liverpool and Wijnaldum's tame shot is saved by De Gea. Coutinho got the ball in the middle and passed it to Lallana who finds the Dutchman but he fails to get power behind the ball. Wasted chance!

23:19 (IST)15 JAN 2017

90+2' Mkhitaryan makes a run on the left but Henderson is there to stop the run.

23:18 (IST)15 JAN 2017

And we have 4 minutes of added time at Old Trafford.

23:18 (IST)15 JAN 2017

90' Firmino was breaking away and Herrera got hold of his shirt. Firmino pushes him in disgust and the two players are booked.

23:16 (IST)15 JAN 2017

89' Pogba plays an over the top through ball to Zlatan, which he controls but as he makes his way into the opposition box the referee raised his flag. Offside!

Stat Attack: This is the first goal Zlatan has scored against Liverpool in six appearances.

23:14 (IST)15 JAN 2017

88' Old Trafford is rocking, imagine if Rooney scores!

23:13 (IST)15 JAN 2017

86' Liverpool counter with Can down the right, he crosses and finds Wijnaldum in the box with acres of space. The Dutchman takes a moment before pulling the trigger but it is blocked.

23:12 (IST)15 JAN 2017

A Rooney winner on the cards?

23:12 (IST)15 JAN 2017

And United are now going for the kill. Can Liverpool hold on or will United clinch it at the death?

23:12 (IST)15 JAN 2017

As we have seen so far this season, Zlatan saves Manchester United.

23:11 (IST)15 JAN 2017

Valencia swings the ball in for Rooney, who dinks it in for Fellaini and his header crashes off the post before Valencia crosses it and Zlatan finds the back of the net from a few yards. GAME ON!

23:10 (IST)15 JAN 2017

84' GOOOOAAAAAALLLL!!!! ZLATAN scores.... 1-1

23:09 (IST)15 JAN 2017

82' And as we say that Mignolet saves Rooney's shot but the assistant has his flag up for offside. 
The ball pin-ponged in Liverpool's box before landing in front of Rooney, who pulls the trigger but it is saved.

23:08 (IST)15 JAN 2017

Time is running out for the Red Devils. Can we witness a moment of magic from a United player?

23:07 (IST)15 JAN 2017

80' Liverpool win a free-kick after Mata fouls Coutinho. And from that the Reds win another free-kick. The away side are taking their time, and why shouldn't they?

23:06 (IST)15 JAN 2017

And ever since the departure of Darmian, Mkhitaryan is playing left-back with Rooney, Zlatan and Mata playing across the front and Fellaini in the hole.

David Beckham is there in the stands along with Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish.

23:04 (IST)15 JAN 2017

76' Substitution: Fellaini comes on to replace Darmian.

23:02 (IST)15 JAN 2017

75' Liverpool win the ball from Pogba in midfield and Firmino runs with it. He finds Can down the right who plays it across for Wijnaldum. It is a pin-point cross but the Dutchman cannot keep his header on target.

23:01 (IST)15 JAN 2017

74' Liverpool continue to have most of the ball. United are trying to get back in the game but don't seem to have much in their tanks right now. 

23:00 (IST)15 JAN 2017

22:56 (IST)15 JAN 2017

And a loss for Manchester United will surely end their title hopes, if there are any!

22:56 (IST)15 JAN 2017

69' Manchester United continue to probe to try and break down the resilient Liverpool defense. But they have failed to do so until now. And now it is Mata who sends one into the box but Mignolet gathers.

22:54 (IST)15 JAN 2017

67' Liverpool explore several avenues to open up United. First, it is a shot from some way off, then an over the top ball and finally it is Coutinho who makes his way into the box before finding Lallana, who turns inside the box and has a shot on goal but De Gea saves.

22:52 (IST)15 JAN 2017

65' Substitution: Juan Mata comes on to replace Anthony Martial. The Frenchman was impressive in the opening minutes of the game.

22:51 (IST)15 JAN 2017

64' Pogba swings a ball into the ball and Zlatan somehow manages to keep it in before cutting it back across the box but no United player could get on the end of it.

22:50 (IST)15 JAN 2017

And Coutinho has just brought a swag in Liverpool. They have come out of their half and are trying to kill the tie.

22:49 (IST)15 JAN 2017

62' Yellow Card: Wijnaldum is the next player to go in the ref's books.

22:48 (IST)15 JAN 2017

22:44 (IST)15 JAN 2017

22:43 (IST)15 JAN 2017

57' Manchester United are playing risky football, with the defenders passing back to De Gea who is forced to clear on more occasions than one.

22:42 (IST)15 JAN 2017

55' WHAT A MISS!!!!!! Martial wins the ball back and finds Zlatan who releases Mkhitaryan. The Armenian burst into the box before squaring it for Martial, who misses from mere yards. Liverpool survive.

22:41 (IST)15 JAN 2017

53' The ball is being circulated in midfield before Lallana plays a back pass to Mignolet that was a little under-hit and had Zlatan interested but the Belgian shot-stopper gets there first.
