Manchester United manager Michael Carrick is reportedly facing the sack during the November international break, despite his side’s dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday.
The result offered United some relief after a difficult start to the encounter at Old Trafford, but it may not be enough to save Carrick’s job amid growing concerns over the team’s performances.
United had dropped to 19th position in the league standings after Sunderland secured a shock 1-0 victory over Chelsea to move above them.
The Red Devils endured another frustrating afternoon when Aston Villa took control of the contest, racing into a two-goal lead through Alysson and Nicolas Jackson. 
But the game at Old Trafford started badly for the hosts, as Villa went two goals up through Alysson and Nicolas Jackson.
United fought back to draw before half time, thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ penalty and Youri Tielemans’ strike.
Villa restored their two-goal advantage within eight minutes of the second half.
Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu struck late in the game to stop the Red Devils from losing again in the league.
It remains to be seen if Carrick is still in the job when United travel to Liverpool after the break.
