Marcus Rashford was bright on the left side, while Kobbie Mainoo set up the goal.<\/p>\n<p>Carrick\u2019s men flopped against Hull City in Week 1 but rolled over Ipswich Town and looked set to move their points haul to six before Tyrique George\u2019s rocket finish beat Senne Lammens late at Hill Dickinson Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin Sesko rose high to give Man United its lead back, but Ainsley Maitland-Niles\u2019 stunning curler from outside the 18 made it 2-2 in the sixth minute of added time.<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin Sesko reaction: On his goal, not starting, blown leads<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts on the draw: \u201cWe can always improve but I think we were still managing the match as good as we could. In the end we were slipping away a little bit but it happens. We\u2019re here to learn and try to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Everton\u2019s comeback: \u201cThey were really intense, especially the last minutes. We were trying to give everything, block every shot. It was a great goal, by the way, going into the top corner. We have to accept it and react in the next match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On coming off the bench and making a statement: \u201cWe have a lot of good players, a lot of quality which is really important for this club. In the end it\u2019s important that each one of us does everything for the team to try to win games. It\u2019s why we are here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael Carrick reaction: How did Manchester United boss see draw at Everton?<\/p>\n<p>Heartbreaking game? \u201cThere was a lot of good things in the game for us. We played some really good football, were dangerous at times. For the most part we defended well as a team. The longer the game went on there were a few more balls into the box and a few decisions we made it more difficult for us when we should\u2019ve seen it out really. We\u2019re disappointed we didn\u2019t come away with a win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What mistakes were those? \u201cI\u2019ll keep them to myself a little bit but we should\u2019ve seen the game out really so we\u2019re disappointed with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the Everton goals: \u201cThere were two great strikes to be fair. We didn\u2019t give them real clear chances. We defended well. They had a few bits that dropped around the edge of the box. We defended the box pretty well for the most part. We look to the reasons how they ended up getting those opportunities but those were really good strikes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the game in general: \u201cThere was a lot of good things. Especialy early on in the game and probably towards the end not so much. We looked dangerous. I thought we called a lot of problems. They got really good goals for different reasons and our second one should\u2019ve been a winner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Carrick\u2019s Manchester United were denied back-to-back wins as Everton struck late in a 2-2 draw sure to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762175,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-762174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
