Aston Villa boss Unai Emery speaking to Sky Sports:"A very difficult match. We competed well and we struggled in the first half after our two goals. Second half we had good balance to try to win the match. Scored two more goals and when we were controlling the game in the last six minutes they scored two goals. They can do it - they did it against Roma. My analysis is that overall we have lost a good opportunity to win the match.
"We have young talented players, we need to get this mix. We are being demanding to play at this level. United showed their level. We must continue working, move on and analyse and how we can defend better and in the moment we were dominating get the better attack. We are disappointed, frustrated because in miunute 90 we are winning 2-4. We will accept the result because we have won three and drawn three in last matches and we're doing well. But today we have lost two points.
"We must be positive even in defeat because we have to continue moving on with the process."
On storming off at the end:"They scored in minute 96 and there were six minutes added. I thought the match was finishing.
"Not unfair - they scored the goal and I thought the match was over."
Aston Villa captain John McGinn, speaking to BBC Match of the Day:"We have to manage these moments better. Not a lot of teams will come here 2-0 and give goals away. We have to defend better in those positions. In the last 10 minutes of each half, we have to manage better.
"We have a lot of inexperienced players but a lot of talent and that's why we score goals. It doesn't matter if United are low in confidence, you're always up against it. The third goal was really poor and gave them a lot of encouragement to score.
"We lost two points. We threw it away. The last five minutes were just madness. It's going to sting.
"The manager is a winner; he'll be hurting the way we are. We go play international football but he'll dwell on it for two weeks."
