Manchester United held 4-4 by Aston Villa and drop into relegation zone as pressure mounts on Carrick

Manchester United twice came from two goals down to draw 4-4 with Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday, but the point left them 18th in the Premier League table, according to BBC Sport. Patrick Dorgu scored a 96th-minute equaliser after United had trailed 4-2 in stoppage time.

BBC Sport reported that the result leaves United in the relegation zone, their lowest position for 40 years after at least 10 matches, and that they will spend the international break there for the first time since 1986. United have not won a league game since beating Ipswich on 30 August, have conceded 15 goals in their past five games and went 2-0 down inside three minutes and 40 seconds against Villa, the earliest they have trailed by two goals in a Premier League match.

Asked by Sky Sports about his future, manager Michael Carrick said he would not walk away and that the club's direction was clear: "It's got to win games." BBC Sport reported that chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox were at Old Trafford, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family also facing questions over the manager's position. United next play Liverpool at Anfield on 22 November.

Dorgu, whose goal rescued a point, said: "I don't feel happy - we are in a bad situation. We need to fight together to get out of it." BBC Sport also reported a banner in the Stretford End reading "We don't want a new stadium, we want new owners", and that defender Diogo Dalot was jeered when replaced by Dorgu in the 66th minute. Villa boss Unai Emery, linked in the report with the United job, said United "have the capacity, power, players and everything to overcome this situation".
