EPL table: Carrick's future in limbo as Man Utd's 4-4 draw with Aston Villa leaves them 18th

Manchester United were held to a 4‑4 draw by Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday, a result that leaves the Red Devils in 18th place and puts manager Michael Carrick’s future in doubt.

The hosts entered the game in 19th position after Sunderland’s 1‑0 win over Chelsea pushed them above United in the Premier League table.

Villa struck first with goals from Alysson and Nicolas Jackson, giving them a 2‑0 lead. United fought back before half‑time, with Bruno Fernandes converting a penalty and Youri Tielemans scoring a second‑half opener to level the score.

In the second half, Villa restored a two‑goal advantage, but late goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu secured the draw for the Red Devils.

United will head to Liverpool after the international break, with the outcome of Carrick’s job still uncertain.
