Park Ji-sung's equaliser six minutes before half-time ensured Manchester United went into the interval on level terms against Liverpool at Anfield.

Daniel Agger's header in the 21st minute, after goalkeeper David de Gea had got himself in a tangle at a corner, had put the home side ahead but United dominated possession after that.

Defender Patrice Evra captained United but Wayne Rooney and Nani both missed the game.

The last time the France international featured at Anfield in October he clashed with Reds striker Luis Suarez which resulted in the Uruguay international eventually being banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racial abuse.

United made four changes from last weekend's win over Arsenal, with de Gea making his first start of 2012 and Rafael, Park and Paul Scholes coming in.

Liverpool also made four changes with Jamie Carragher, on his 34th birthday, Andy Carroll, Maxi Rodriguez and Martin Kelly coming in for Glen Johnson, Charlie Adam, Dirk Kuyt, and Craig Bellamy.

Evra's every touch was roundly booed with the left-back also subjected to chants from sections of the Liverpool supporters.

De Gea, who produced an impressive display in the league draw, was forced into an early save when Rodriguez shot from outside the area after Steven Gerrard had driven forward.

At the other end Ryan Giggs' volley from Park's lay-off did not carry enough venom to require anything other than a regulation pick-up by Jose Reina.

Carragher was given a holding role in midfield as Liverpool adopted a 4-1-4-1 formation and his first real intervention was to bring down Park in the centre-circle.

In fact United had the upper-hand in midfield and when Antonio Valencia cut in from the right to fire off a 17th-minute shot only Reina's right-hand post prevented the visitors taking the lead.

Jose Enrique's long-range strike looked like troubling De Gea until Chris Smalling got his head in the way to deflect the ball behind.

The United goalkeeper seemed more concerned with pushing Carroll out of the way as Gerrard swung over the corner and Agger capitalised by rising highest to head home a 21st-minute opener.

Gerrard wasted a chance to test De Gea again after being sent on a run by Carroll's chest-trap and pass on the turn.

Following the goal United enjoyed a long spell of possession, knocking the ball around in midfield without any end product.

But just when they looked like squandering their dominance they produced an equaliser six minutes before half-time.

Rafael shrugged off Enrique far too easily as they raced to Valencia's pass, got to the byline and drilled over a low cross which Park smashed first time inside Reina's left-hand post
