Overview
- Manchester United produced a wild 4-4 draw at Old Trafford, with Patrick Dorgu scoring a 96th-minute equaliser that stood after a VAR review.
- The point left United 18th in the Premier League and increased pressure on manager Michael Carrick, who denied he will walk away in a tense post-match TV exchange.
- Reports say Jason Wilcox will meet at the club’s Carrington training ground during the international break to decide whether Carrick keeps the job or is replaced.
- Diogo Dalot was culpable for a second-half penalty, was jeered by supporters and was substituted for Patrick Dorgu, and Harry Maguire left at half-time with a back spasm.
- Aston Villa boss Unai Emery criticised officiating over the late goal and pundits warned the club’s failings run deeper than coaching, pointing to recruitment, leadership and injury problems ahead of a trip to Anfield.
