Manchester United rescued an incredible 4-4 draw against Aston Villa as two stoppage-time goals gave Michael Carrick renewed hope of avoiding the sack, while Chelsea suffered a shock 1-0 loss at Sunderland on Sunday.\n<\/p>\n
United boss Carrick was seconds away from heading into the international break on the back of another devastating defeat that would surely have led to his dismissal.\n<\/p>\n
But Carrick\u2019s side struck twice in the six minutes of additional time through Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu to leave their manager\u2019s future still uncertain.\n<\/p>\n
United are in the relegation zone and have not won in their last eight Premier League matches, so it is far from sure that Carrick will survive the axe.<\/p>\n
He had earned a stay of execution when United\u2019s hierarchy allowed him to remain in charge despite last weekend\u2019s loss at Chelsea.<\/p>\n
United responded by ending a nine-match winless run in all competitions as they came from two goals down to beat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n
But United, who have only three wins in 15 games this season, were back in turmoil when they fell 2-0 down against Villa in the first four minutes at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Alysson struck in the first minute with a shot that squirmed under United keeper Senne Lammens.\n<\/p>\n
Nicolas Jackson slotted in the second three minutes later after a weak save from Lammens pushed the ball into his path.\n<\/p>\n
Bruno Fernandes got one back with a 16th-minute penalty after Boubacar Kamara fouled Matheus Cunha before former Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans slammed in United\u2019s 44th-minute equaliser.\n<\/p>\n
Villa\u2019s John McGinn converted a 48th-minute penalty following Diogo Dalot\u2019s clumsy challenge on Alysson.\n<\/p>\n
Leon Goretzka poked in Villa\u2019s fourth from close range after United\u2019s Leny Yoro headed against his own crossbar in the 53rd minute.\n<\/p>\n
Yet Zirkzee\u2019s stoppage-time finish gave United hope, and Dorgu headed their dramatic equaliser in the final seconds after a weak punch from Villa keeper Zion Suzuki.\n<\/p>\n
Carrick wore a bewildered look on his face as he walked down the tunnel towards an uncertain future, with United next in action at Liverpool on November 22.<\/p>\n
