LIVERPOOL, England, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Frustrated ⁠Manchester United manager Michael Carrick says his team is hurting ⁠after conceding with virtually the last kick of the game ‌in a 2-2 Premier League draw at Everton on Sunday.

United twice led after goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, but conceded in the 96th minute as Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored ​with a scorching drive from 35 yards to ⁠snatch a point.

Everton’s first goal ⁠from Tyrique George was also a fine strike and Carrick was left ⁠to ‌rue his side’s misfortune at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

"They're two fantastic strikes from in and outside the box, so they don't ⁠go in too often. I thought we did a ​lot of good things ‌in the game to get us in the position we were ⁠in twice,” ​he told the BBC.

"Some of our attacking play was really good and we looked dangerous and did a lot of things that we were trying to ⁠do. And for the most part, I thought ​we dealt with them quite well.

"It hurts as we came here to win and we put ourselves in a good position."

Carrick withdrew Marcus Rashford on ⁠70 minutes after a lively performance on the left wing.

"He felt a little bit of something, so we had to change him," Carrick said. "We had good connections pretty much all over the pitch at different times of ​the game, and Marcus and Luke Shaw have ⁠played together for a long period of time and have a good understanding.

"And ​you can see that, they look really ‌dangerous down that side, and there's obviously ​more to come."

United next host Sabah from Azerbaijan in the Champions League on Thursday.
