Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard to Sky Sports: "I thought we improved a lot in the second half, but it took a lot of honesty at half time because for the first 25 minutes we did not commit to what we wanted to do. We prepared to be aggressive and on the front foot and jump on Man United, I thought there was an opportunity for us but credit to them, they were better.
"The first goal came off the back of us being passive and second best so we deserved to be in the position we were at half time. From there it could not be any worse, credit to the players we rolled up our sleeves up at 0-2, we were on the front foot, much more like I want Aston Villa to play.
"We took a lot of positives from Monday, but we lost so I expected the reaction we got at half time from the whistle and had we had that for 90 minutes we might have taken more than a point.
"If you are second best and don’t take the handbrake off you will be picked off. All our good stuff came off the real honesty we didn’t have in the first 25 minutes."
Manchester United boss Ralph Rangnick speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It is difficult to accept this result after being 2-0 up and in quite a few spells of the game, I think it was the best performance since I arrived. In the first half an hour, we completely dominated and controlled the game on the ball. Defensively, we played compact and tight.
"But again, when you are 2-0 up and throw away two valuable points, it almost feels like a defeat, but we have to look ahead and take the best out of it. in spells, it was a very good performance today."
On disappointment they didn't score more than once in the first half: "We had other chances to score a second or third goal. We scored after 70 minutes, and 2-0 up with 20 minutes to play, we should be able to drive home with three points. But with the impetus and how compact we play, we have to play like that for 90, 95 minutes, not just 70 minutes"
On character to get a draw: "There are no easy games in the Premier League and there are always spells where it can go this way or that way. The same was true today. We had enough experience on the pitch to control the game and do the right things well for the rest of the game. We didn't and we have one point instead of three.
