United went in front when Patrice Evra drilled in a cross for Wayne Rooney to powerfully head in at the far post.
But Van Persie reacted quickly to Tomas Rosicky's cross and got in behind Gary Neville to slide in a fine equaliser seven minutes from the end.
And in stoppage time Henry rose to head in Emmanuel Eboue's cross.

United had looked like extending their Premiership lead to nine points, with 10 minutes left on the clock.
But Van Persie's sixth goal in seven games pegged them back and Henry stunned the visitors with a late, late winner.
Both managers had predicted an entertaining encounter in the 200th meeting between the clubs.
And in blustery conditions the two rivals produced a game full of intrigue and incident, even if neither side were able to find their top form.
United settled first, with Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo both off target as Arsenal battled against the wind in their faces.
The first flashpoint led to Kolo Toure and Rooney exchanging slaps but, despite both players coming away holding their faces, it did not merit any cards from referee Steve Bennett.
Giggs and Evra both went into Bennett's book for lunging challenges as the game began to simmer.
Henry should have done better than head straight at keeper Edwin van der Sar from an Emmanuel Adebayor cross.
With Arsenal gaining the ascendancy, Bennett looked to have denied them a clear penalty.
