John McGinn has conceded Aston Villa 'threw it away' in five minutes of 'madness' at Manchester United.

Aston Villa conceded twice in stoppage time to draw 4-4 against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Unai Emery's side twice held two-goal leads in the fixture, with the home side fighting back on each occasion to level.

The Villans had looked set to secure a rare away win at Manchester United. Villa had won just two of the previous 31 meetings at Old Trafford, and that record extended after a late collapse.

Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu both scored in time added on, after Youri Tielemans had earlier equalised on the stroke of half-time. McGinn outlined his frustration at Villa's implosion and inability to see out each half.

"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," McGinn said to Match of the Day.

"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."

Aston Villa sit 10th in the Premier League table at the international break, with Manchester United 18th.
