Overview
- Sunday’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa produced a late stoppage-time equaliser but left Manchester United 18th in the Premier League table.
- Michael Carrick gave terse, confrontational answers when Sky Sports reporter Patrick Davison pressed him about his future and rejected suggestions he would walk away.
- Sections of the crowd booed defender Diogo Dalot and displayed anti-ownership banners as fan frustration flashed across Old Trafford.
- United’s defensive problems continued with Harry Maguire leaving at half-time because of a back spasm and the club having gone without a league win since August 30 while conceding heavily in recent games.
- Director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada were at the match and are expected to review options for the manager and squad during the break ahead of a November trip to Anfield.
