One point on the road for Travis Binnion’s young Reds secures a fifth-placed finish in the division, meaning we qualify for the end-of-season play-offs, where we’ll host the 12th-placed side.
As things stand, that will be Everton, who were 5-4 winners over Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. However, the Toffees’ Merseyside rivals Liverpool play their final game on Friday evening, against Aston Villa, who sit bottom. Victory for Liverpool will see them leapfrog the Blues into that 12th spot.
FIRST HALF
While United dominated possession, chances were fairly evenly shared in the opening stages. Gabriele Biancheri headed over from a seventh-minute corner before the hosts' Dani Angel watched a left-footed effort blocked and Luke Rawlings struck wide of the left post.
