Manchester United suffered another blow in the battle for a Champions League spot as they were held by Leicester at Old Trafford.
The damage could have been even worse for Ralf Rangnick's men as Leicester were denied a potential winner 10 minutes from time when referee Andre Marriner was sent to the screen by the video assistant referee, with Marriner overturning James Maddison's effort for a foul on Raphael Varane in the build-up.
United could count themselves fortunate to get a point.
After a drab opening period, Kelechi Iheanacho scored a superb 63rd-minute opener when he met superb Maddison's left-wing cross with a fine diving header, which sent the ball back into the far corner.
The Foxes' advantage lasted just three minutes, with Brazilian midfielder Fred on hand to convert the rebound after Bruno Fernandes' shot had been pushed into his path by Kasper Schmeichel.
It was a disappointing outcome for the hosts, who are now three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, having played two games more and with a trip to the Gunners, plus encounters with Liverpool and Chelsea, still to come.
Afterwards, Rangnick said: "The second half was the better one, we were struggling to find the rhythm in the first half possibly because of the international break. We gave away a goal on a transitional moment but the reaction after was good and scored a goal. In the end we are not happy with the result but the second half was OK.
"The only one we had was Marcus Rashford. We knew this morning Cristiano could not play and decided to start Paul Pogba. After 60 minutes we made the change and had a central striker on the pitch.
"It is no secret that he was not full of confidence in the last couple of weeks. In training he is looking well but it was a question between Paul and Marcus, we went with Paul.
"The reaction of our supporters and they are the best in England. Harry Maguire had a flawless game defensively and offensively. He prefers to play on the left side but I decided he should play on the right after seeing him for England and as a right-footed player it makes it easy to play.
"Luke Shaw has problems with his leg with a former injury.
"In the last 15 minutes we tried to score a goal but in this game we did not score the late goal. We don't have the offensive players and even Jesse Lingard was feeling sick.
"As long as it (top four) is possible mathematically, it is possible. It is our job and duty to do our best to finish of the best on the best possible note.
"The picture for me is clear, internally we spoke about it but there is nothing else I can say at this stage."
