Bournemouth took the lead twice through Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert.
However, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes proved instrumental in the comeback, scoring twice to secure a vital point.
Late in the game, VAR drama unfolded when a potential Bournemouth penalty was downgraded to a free-kick after officials determined the foul occurred just outside the box.
