Manchester United drew 4-4 with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, remaining in the Premier League relegation zone.
United conceded twice in the first four minutes and trailed by two goals on two occasions. Stoppage-time goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu salvaged a 4-4 draw. United sit 18th with eight points from 10 games, and manager Michael Carrick's future remains uncertain.
