The first half failed to deliver much excitement until two minutes into added time.
Bruno Fernandes stood over a free-kick 25-yards out and was able to whip it over the wall and into the net to give the hosts the lead.
Declan Rice fired over with a spectacular volley in the second half as the Gunners came out firing.
But it was Man United defender Noussair Mazraoui who was denied doubling the Red Devils lead in the second half by a stunning David Raya save.
However, they could not hold onto the lead as Declan Rice netted a deserved equaliser with a brilliant strike from the edge of the box.
Neither side was able to find a winner with the result much more damaging to Arsenal’s season than Man United’s.
The Gunners remain 15 points behind league leaders Liverpool while the Red Devils climb to 14th above Everton.
Gabriel Martinelli fired over from yards out to net a potential winner but was saved his blushes as the flag went up.
