Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been talking to Sky Sports following the game: "It is very frustrating. This win would have meant a lot to us and a point is a big difference."
On the red card: "It's common sense. Everyone who has played football understands - he slips. He doesn't catch him with the leg that goes high and the consequence is a red card. It is another three games without playing. The repercussions for us are huge.
"Of course we are going to appeal. It is common sense. In the first half, Evanilson gets a kick in the chest by Casemiro. I don't think you should have a red card for this but VAR cuts the worst angle, the worst frame."
On suggestions that VAR did not tell the referee that Evanilson had slipped: "If you're telling me that, then it is something very serious. It is difficult for us."
On the race for European football: "We are in a worse position than at the start of the weekend, but we still have four games to play. They are difficult games but we are in the fight.
"It is difficult to look in a positive way at the moment, we need a few hours."

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has been speaking to Premier League Productions about the draw: "We worked so hard throughout the whole game. We played really well, especially in the first half. It is obviously unfortunate with the red card and then you've got to dig in.
"It's tough against a Manchester United team who haven't had the best of seasons, but they are still Manchester United. It's a bit of a dagger to concede the goal at the end.
"We gave everything in that game. We maybe didn't create enough chances, which is something we have lacked a bit recently. To concede after nine minutes were added on - I don't know where nine minutes came from - but you have got to take it on the chin."
On Evanilson's red card: "I could see on the pitch that he slipped. It looked like the referee didn't want to give [the red card], but once he went to the screen we knew he was more likely to give it."
On Bournemouth's European football hopes: "The results yesterday didn't help. We knew we had to come here and get three points, but we'll take the one. We've played well all season, so it would be a shame to let it slip in our remaining games."

Andoni Iraola is unbeaten in all four of his Premier League meetings with Manchester United (W2 D2), with the Red Devils becoming the fifth different team the Spaniard has faced four or more times and not lost against.
Evanilson has been involved in six goals in his past nine Premier League starts for Bournemouth (5 goals, 1 assist). This was his first assist in the competition on what was his 27th appearance.

Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo has been speaking to Sky Sports about the performance: "It is frustrating. We dominated most of the game. We went down to 10 men but I felt we were still quite comfortable. We defended so well. The goal we conceded is so frustrating. It feels like a loss, to be honest.
"I feel like there wasn't much more we could do. All we could do was defend as a group and hope not to concede. We are just unfortunate to concede with the last shot they had.
"The teams above us can lose next week and we can go above them. We just have to go on to next week. We have a tough game [against Arsenal], but the boys will be confident enough going to the Emirates.
"It is not getting easier, but I have full belief that we can still do something."
On Evanilson's red card: "Everyone's just frustrated. There were challenges like that all game. It doesn't make sense as to why that one was a red card."

Bournemouth hammered Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford before Christmas and they have to be heavy favourites to win this game too.
United travel to play Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final next Thursday, and Ruben Amorim has already spoken about how he will prioritise that competition over the Premier League.
So, Amorim will play more younger players here and on top of that, although Bournemouth are not on a great run of results, they are still in better form than United are.
I am backing Bournemouth and it is going to be tough for United against Bilbao too.
Bilbao got the better of Rangers in the last round and I am expecting two pretty tight games.
Rangers did have some opportunities, though, so United have got a chance if they can click going forward. Having the second leg at Old Trafford will help Amorim's side, too.

Bournemouth technical director Simon Francis believes this season is just the start for the Cherries, who want to continue to grow into a Premier League force.
Andoni Iraola's side are eighth in the league, having returned to the division in 2022. They host Manchester United at 14:00 BST on Sunday.
"Breaking records is always a good thing," said former defender Francis. "The club is in an amazing position in the league.
"We have had an amazing season but to sustain it is the hardest part. It's the business end of the season. We have a tough run of fixtures, but it is in our hands. The players know that.
"They have got a real togetherness and mentality that I've not really seen before at this football club. They know there is something special on the horizon, whether it is this season or the next couple of years.
"Staying in the Premier League was the first and most important achievement, but this group have a really nice blend of experience and young players who are hungry to succeed."
Francis also heaped praise on Iraola, who has transformed the Cherries into a relentless pressing machine with a clinical edge.
"He is enjoying being here, and if you asked him that, he would say the same," said Francis.
"Moving to the new training ground has been a big plus for him - the ambition the club has shown, the motivation of the players and because of what the future looks like.
"We are in every day and we discuss everything. We just try to give him the best environment possible for him and the team to perform.
"I think he is in the best place - not only for his career but the team at the moment."
'We are victims of our own success' - Bournemouth technical directorpublished at 18:04 25 April

Bournemouth's technical director Simon Francis says that interest in the club's star players is testament to the job the Cherries have done with recruitment, and the performance of Andoni Iraola's team.
Bournemouth are eighth in the Premier League and players such as Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Antoine Semenyo are just three of the players rumoured to have attracted the gaze of clubs across Europe.
"We end up being a victim of our own success really," he said.
"There will be bigger teams circling around and looking at some of our players. There will be some situations we can't control, but there will be others we can.
"I'm confident that if we finish well this season, and that could mean European football, then the players will be excited about that. It would be historic.
"But there will also be some players that want to go and play for some of the biggest teams in the world, and sometimes you can't stand in their way.
"All we can hope now is that we finish this season on a high. The players are focused on that - I don't think their attention is anywhere else at the moment. Then we have to accept that in the summer, there will be discussions."
On 20-year-old Huijsen, who only arrived at Vitality Stadium from Juventus in the summer, Francis said: "He's had an amazing season. His most impressive attribute is his mentality. Everyone is aware of the noise around him but for him to stay so focused at his age has been irable.
"He's not once changed his mentality around the group. I think that's partly down to the fact the group will keep him grounded anyway because we are a team and no individual is bigger than the team.
"The idea was for him to come in as back-up and learn, but through injury there was the opportunity for him to come into the team and he's been there ever since.
"For a player who has just turned 20, he reads the game and plays the game like he is 30 years old. He's impressive."
Iraola on Cook's injury, Huijsen rumours and Europepublished at 14:58 25 April

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester United (kick-off 14:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Iraola expressed some doubts about Lewis Cook's availability due to an ongoing ankle issue which he was been struggling with.
On what position will be good enough to qualify for Europe and how he approaches that: "We don't know what's going to happen or what position will give you access to Europe. There are seven teams comfortably ahead of us and three or four teams we are fighting with for a possible spot. We like to think that there is at least one position open but we know it will be difficult because we have a difficult schedule."
He knows that the gap is widening and there are "a lot of teams fighting for one position" so you have to get "good results and try to win every game".
He doesn't think the speculation around Antoine Semenyo and Milos Kerkez is affecting the team, adding: "The players are focused on what they have to do and there are some things you cannot control, but it is not affecting us."
Iraola believes Dean Huijsen can "block out" transfer rumours and said that he has been "training and playing well as usual".
On opponents Manchester United: "They don't change their structure a lot. I expect a tight game. They defend well and don't give you a lot of chances so we have to be prepared for the best possible Manchester United team."
In response to whether he thinks United will have more focus on their Europa League semi-final: "Thursday is important for them, of course, but they will want to beat us on Sunday also and so we have prepared for their strongest 11."
Iraola was "very pleased" with the recent back-to-back clean sheets and was happy with the points gained from their matches against Crystal Palace and Fulham, adding: "It is important to keep adding points and if you are strong defensively, then it allows you to create chances. Our defensive numbers have been really good and we are not conceding cheap goals like we did last season."
A Bournemouth outgoing that will go under the radarpublished at 13:15 23 April

Amid the latest round of speculation over the futures of Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Bournemouth's other stars, there will be one outgoing move from Vitality Stadium that will fly somewhat under the radar.
Burnley's promotion to the Premier League, under ex-Cherries boss Scott Parker, was confirmed this week and will trigger an obligation to buy winger Jaidon Anthony, who has spent this season on loan at Turf Moor, for a reported fee of £8m.
Anthony was on Arsenal's books as a schoolboy before ing Bournemouth as a 16-year-old and his time with the Cherries encomed six different managers.
Although he did not make the first team under Eddie Howe, Anthony debuted under Jason Tindall and featured in the 2021 FA Cup quarter-final under his successor Jonathan Woodgate.
However, his best run in the team came under his now-Clarets manager Parker, appearing in 45 out of 46 league games in the 2021-22 Championship promotion season and scoring eight goals.
Playing more of a substitute role in the top flight, Anthony nevertheless netted three times in the Premier League under Gary O'Neil, including the winner at Nottingham Forest as the Cherries came from 2-0 down at half-time to win 3-2 and collect the league's Most Improbable Comeback award for 2022-23.
And despite featuring in Andoni Iraola's early games as Bournemouth boss, Anthony has found himself loaned out to high-flying Championship clubs, Leeds and Burnley, for the past two seasons.
With the Cherries having several fringe players out on loan, Anthony is unlikely to be the last to be ultimately deemed surplus to requirements.
