Michael Carrick was questioned about his future as Manchester United manager following the 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils winless in eight Premier League games

Michael Carrick was at the centre of an awkward exchange with Sky Sports reporter Patrick Davison after being grilled about his future at Manchester United. The Red Devils had just netted a late equaliser in a chaotic clash with Aston Villa

United bagged two late goals to salvage a point in a thrilling 4-4 draw at Old Trafford. Carrick's underperformers looked destined for another loss before substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu struck in stoppage time.

It marked another fightback from two goals behind, hot on the heels of Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Roma, yet Carrick's position remains in doubt, with United languishing in 18th place and without a Premier League win in eight matches.

United bosses Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox were present at Old Trafford and face a crucial decision during the upcoming two-week international break.

Carrick has weathered previous crunch meetings and anticipates remaining in charge, but the strain was evident in a terse post-match exchange with Davison, reports the Mirror.

Here's how the interview unfolded...Davison: "What do you expect to happen over the next few weeks? You've been asked time and again about your future? I know you have said that you walking away was the best for the club, you'd probably do it."

Carrick: "It's not going to happen, no."

Davison: "What do you expect to happen? Clearly there's going to be conversation?".

Carrick: "Is there?".

Davison: "You would assume so really?".

Carrick: "Would you?"

Davison: "What do you think Michael?".

Carrick: "You're telling me, what do you think?".

Davison: "I'm asking you, Michael. What do you think?".

Carrick: "You know the situation, we haven't won enough games. But I expect to move forward with things we've been working on, showing a lot of the good from today tighten up a few mistakes and win some football matches."

Carrick also dismissed suggestions that United are embroiled in a relegation scrap, despite collecting just eight points from 10 games this season. "We're in November," he responded curtly.

"I don't like this situation where we are and where we're at. But we can do something about it."
