Ryan Ferguson:
"On reflection, it was probably a fair result. We played well, they played well, and both sets of players deserved a result. We will be disappointed that we let a lead slip and didn't take the three points home but that's not always possible, especially at the top level.
It is the second time we have left Manchester with a point when we could have had more. We made similar mistakes in both fixtures which need addressing, but I'm confident we will improve where needs be. We can take pride in performing well in attack and scoring twice, and very nearly three times, but we know we have a lot of space for improvement.
We open our Champions League account for the season on Wednesday and it won't be an easy game. Anderlecht are probably the lesser known quantity of the group, but that makes them no pushover. They deserve to be in competition as much as anybody else, and we must treat this game with great respect. We have to show that we want to win."
Ryan Ferguson:
"It was a fantastic result to mark a fantastic performance. We had to make a make a number of changes to the team for today's game due to a number of fitness concerns, but the players who came in did so to devastating effect. We completely outclassed the opposition and took our chances very well. I am very proud of my players at this moment of time.
I am delighted for Novakovic to finally score for Whitehawk. He has been training very hard and, while it has not been easy at times, he deserves a lot of credit for today's result. He showed fantastic ability in and around the box, and his goal scoring and creating tonight is exactly why we brought him to the club.
We have a very tricky game at home to Crystal Palace on the weekend, and we will then face Burnley in the EFL Cup next Wednesday. I am happy these two games will both be at home, so we can spend more time resting and less time travelling. Tonight we will rest, but tomorrow we will work towards being fully prepared for the upcoming fixtures."
Ryan Ferguson:
"Brilliant performance, brilliant result. We played very well and fully deserved to progress. We didn't concede too many chances at all, and we used the ball very well in possession. It is still very early in the season, but I am happy with how we are playing so far.
Mbappé was absolutely terrific today and it is disappointing to see him come off injured. We are hoping he returns to action after the October international window, but we'll have to wait and see. It is still early days and the most important thing for him now is to focus on resting and allowing his calf strain to heal. It will take as long as it takes.
We have a very exciting draw for the next round. It isn't very often we get to compete in a derby game, and we'll be awaiting our fixture against Brighton with great intent. Hopefully the game will produce great excitement but, most importantly, see us progress to the next round."
Ryan Ferguson:
"Well it was a terrific game with plenty of excitement! We did brilliantly initially to take the lead, but then AC Milan showed greater character for the remainder of the first half and they deserved to be leading at the break. Credit has to go to our players for their second half performance, though, as they produced an incredible display of attack quality.
(Jason) Coffey was incredible. He was tremendous in front of goal and deservedly took the match ball home. His finishing was fantastic, and so was his creativity. He set up a number of good chances for the others and played his role absolutely brilliantly.
The result leaves us with six points from a possible six, which we can only be delighted with. We still have four more games left to play in the group stage, and each game will be as important as the last. Hopefully we can take this momentum and continue scoring as we have done in recent weeks."
