Defeat at Upton Park left United just a point in front of Arsenal ahead of the Gunners' late kick-off match away to Everton.
Cristiano Ronaldo's 18th goal of the season looked like being enough to give champions United a win when he headed in a 14th minute cross from Ryan Giggs.
But the Portugal star was made to pay for shooting wide from the penalty spot in the 66th minute following a handball from Jonathan Spector.
Hammers substitute Anton Ferdinand, playing against his brother Rio, drew the home side level in the 77th minute with a header and, with eight minutes to go, West Ham were ahead when Matthew Upson headed in Mark Noble's free-kick.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, whose wide were without ill duo Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick, said West Ham deserved their win.
