Cambridge were in the ascendancy for most of the second period and James Brophy forced goalkeeper Matthew Young into a save with a powerful effort from distance.

The away side came closest to breaking the deadlock when Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu's volley cannoned off the base of a post.

Adebola Oluwo headed wide from a corner as Salford went in search of a winner, but Cambridge comfortably held on to secure a point.
