Manchester United manager, Michael Carrick, has insisted that his team can recover from their poor run of results despite dropping into the Premier League relegation zone.
Carrick spoke after United played out a dramatic 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Red Devils twice came from two goals behind to rescue a point in an entertaining encounter but remained in the bottom three after the result.
Aston Villa took an early two-goal lead through Alysson and Nicolas Jackson inside the opening five minutes.
However, Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty before Youri Tielemans restored parity for the hosts before the break.
Villa regained the advantage after the restart, with John McGinn and Leon Goretzka scoring to put the visitors 4-2 ahead.
United fought back again, as Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu scored late goals to secure a share of the points.
Despite the comeback, United dropped to 18th position in the Premier League table after 10 matches.
The club is also enduring an eight-match winless run in the league, increasing pressure on Carrick.
Reacting to questions about whether United are now involved in a relegation battle, the manager insisted that the season was still at an early stage.
“We’re in November. I don’t like this situation or the results, but we can definitely do something about it,” Carrick said.
The result leaves United with plenty of work to do as they seek to move away from the relegation zone.
