Just as it seemed Liverpool would secure a vital win, Amad scored a late equalizer to send the away fans into raptures.
The result moved Manchester United up to 13th in the Premier League table, above West Ham, and provided a much-needed boost for Ruben Amorim's side.
In a dramatic finale, Harry Maguire had a chance to snatch all three points for United, but his effort sailed over the crossbar, leaving both teams to settle for a share of the spoils.
