GARY NEVILLE expressed serious worries about Michael Carrick’s Manchester United after observing their thrilling 4-4 encounter with Aston Villa.

The Red Devils quickly found themselves two goals down within just four minutes during this exhilarating contest.

Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans pulled the match back to parity, but Villa struck twice quickly after half-time, putting United behind 4-2 once more.

Despite United scoring twice in injury time to secure a draw, Neville remains concerned about the “emotional toll” it may take on them.

Following the match, Carrick and his players took a moment to stroll around the pitch, acknowledging the support of the home fans, but the former Premier League captain remains doubtful.

The 51-year-old remarked: “You have to commend their determination. They kept battling.”

Michael Carrick cautions Man Utd fans about their response to Dalot’s substitution

“The defensive mistakes were obvious,” he added.

“I played for Manchester United 602 times. After every game, I always acknowledged the fans.”

Neville admitted that the post-match “lap of honour,” particularly after the disappointing 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, was “hard to watch.”

He stated: “It appears they are causing themselves emotional distress.”

“This situation cannot continue, can it? It’s truly awful.”

“Michael will certainly take pride in their efforts.”

“The fans are cheering his name out of love for him, but this is genuinely a troubling situation.”

Prior to the match, this game was deemed critical for Carrick, but the draw may just be sufficient for him to remain until the international break.

During the Villa match, Diogo Dalot was met with jeers from the United supporters, although the manager asserted that he is “giving his all.”

Carrick remarked: “We’re all feeling frustrated and disappointed, and the players feel it profoundly, believe me.”

“Diogo puts in everything he has. He’s been playing in various roles, quite effectively at times.”

“He gave away a penalty today, and he knows that. Maybe he could have handled it better; that’s part of the game – he made a mistake, but he truly cares and works hard.”

“I value what he brings to the squad, how he inspires those around him, and the overall atmosphere and culture we’re creating.”

“Choosing the starting eleven for the next match will be a different kind of challenge entirely, but it’s a new game we look forward to now.”

United have only one Premier League victory this season, which was a 5-2 home win against Ipswich on August 30.

They currently find themselves in 18th place in the table, aware that they will be facing Liverpool upon their return.

After the match at Anfield, United will head to Sporting in the Champions League, where they currently sit in the playoff qualification spots following four matches.
