MANCHESTER, Nov 9 — Manchester United twice came from two goals down to salvage a remarkable 4-4 draw against Aston Villa yesterday and potentially save manager Michael Carrick’s job.
Goals in stoppage time from Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu rescued a point, but United will spend a two-week international break in the relegation zone.
Carrick’s team conceded twice inside the opening four minutes as Alysson and Nicolas Jackson punished errors from goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
The Red Devils rallied to level at half-time thanks to a Bruno Fernandes penalty and Youri Tielemans’s first goal since moving to Old Trafford from Villa.
