Manchester United manager Michael Carrick future remains uncertain after draw

Chaotic match ends in draw

Manchester United defeated Aston Villa to finish the game at 4-4 after trailing by two goals. Defender Diogo Dalot was substituted in the 66th minute before Patrick Dorgu scored an equaliser in the 96th minute. The result leaves Manchester United in 18th place, which is their lowest position for 40 years. They will face Liverpool at Anfield on 22 November next.

Club hierarchy considers options now

Manchester United bosses have been assessing Carrick's future for several weeks without making a final decision yet. The club has won only one game in 11 matches this season and conceded 30 goals across all competitions. Sky Sports understands the hierarchy plans to reassess during the international break before the next match. They aim to appoint a long-term head coach rather than using an interim manager again.

Potential targets include Nagelsmann

Reports indicate Manchester United are interested in Julian Nagelsmann, Eddie Howe and Fabian Hurzeler if they decide to change managers. Unai Emery was also high on the list of potential candidates for the vacant position. Carrick told Sky Sports reporter Patrick Davison that he expects to be in charge when play resumes. Former player Roy Keane praised the team for keeping going despite giving up four goals at home.
