MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is facing another international window filled with uncertainty after his side slipped into the Premier League relegation zone despite a sensational comeback to claim a 4-4 home draw with Aston Villa.
United is 18th on eight points after 10 games, one behind Coventry City, and for long periods of Sunday’s game looked like a disjointed, rudderless side, with collapses in concentration at the start of each half proving costly for Carrick’s men.
Alysson opened the scoring for Villa after two minutes and Nicolas Jackson added a second two minutes later, but United looked to be motoring when Bruno Fernandes pulled one back with a penalty and Youri Tielemans levelled just before the break.
