United ended the Sky Bet League Two campaign sharing the points with Salford City at Brunton Park.
Mark Hughes named an unchanged side from last weekend’s defeat at Cheltenham Town. Youngster Sam Hetherington made the bench for the Blues.
Two goals in the same amount of minutes through Stephen Wearne and Matthew Dennis gave United the advantage before Cole Stockton and Hakeeb Adelakun’s strikes meant the points were shared.
Sean Fusire had the game’s first chance in front of goal, driving an attempt over the crossbar from the edge of Salford City’s area.
Cole Stockton had a fine chance to open the scoring at the opposite end on 12 minutes after Kakeeb Adelakun played the ball low across the box, however, Gabe Breeze was there to make a brilliant stop at his near post.
Four minutes later it was the Cumbrians who broke the deadlock. Sean Fusire got onto the end of a ball down the line and cut the ball back into the area for the arriving Stephen Wearne, who rolled home into the bottom corner.
One minute later Mark Hughes’ side made it two. Jack Ellis showed brilliant drive and endeavour down the right before finding Matthew Dennis at the far post to scramble home the second in quick succession.
The Ammies pulled one back through Cole Stockton on 37 minutes. Ben Woodburn’s powerful delivery from a free-kick was met by the attacker who guided home brilliantly to halve the deficit.
HALF-TIME: United 2-1 Salford City
The visitors started the second-half rapidly and Breeze was forced to tip wide a low effort from Ben Woodburn for a corner - which came to nothing for Karl Robinson’s men.
Kelly N’Mai looked to force the issue on a number of occasions for Salford early in the second-half, but he was unable to help his side find the equaliser.
On 58 minutes, Callum Whelan showed some brilliant skill before firing towards goal in front of the Warwick Road End - his effort was saved and the resulting corner came to nothing.
Four minutes later it was Hakeeb Adelakun who brought the visitors level following some neat interlinking play down the left-hand side.
As we entered the final 10 minutes of regular time, substitute Elliot Embleton fired from the edge of the area but it was no threat on Matthew Young’s goal.
On 85 minutes, the ball fell luckily to Georgie Kelly, whose effort was saved by Young as United searched for the lead again.
Mark Hughes’ men were unable to breach the Ammies’ defence anymore, meaning it finished level.
