Man Utd boss Michael Carrick has revealed his stance on potentially resigning from his position as Red Devils manager after they drew 4-4 with Aston Villa.

Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans cancelled out early goals from Alysson and Nicolas Jackson, who had given Aston Villa a 2-0 lead.

Man Utd started slowly in the second half too with John McGinn and Leon Goretzka putting the Villans 4-2 up within eight minutes of the restart.

But the Red Devils kept plugging away and got their rewards in injury time when both Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu scored a goal each to give Man Utd a point.

Both The Athletic‘s Laurie Whitwell and Italian transfer insider Fabrizio Romano have revealed that Carrick is unlikely to be sacked despite the club entering the relegation zone.

When asked if he could walk away from the Man Utd job if he felt it was the right time to go by Sky Sports‘ Patrick Davison, Carrick replied: “It’s not going to happen, no.

Davison then asked as part of a tense exchange with the Man Utd boss: “What do you expect to happen? Clearly there’s going to be conversation?”

Carrick: “Is there?”

Davison: “You would assume so, right?”

Carrick: “Would you?”

Davison: “What do you think, Michael?”

Carrick: “You’re telling me what you think, aren’t you?”

Davison: “I’m asking you what you think? What do you expect to happen?”

Carrick: “We understand the situation; we haven’t won enough games. But I expect to move forward and keep working on things we’ve been working on, showing a lot of the good in the game today, tighten up on a few mistakes and win football matches.”

Carrick sack would not be the answer for Man Utd – Neville

Gary Neville thinks sacking Carrick would only paper over the cracks at Man Utd with a potential new manager bounce.

Neville said on NBC Sports: “Michael Carrick did that last season [turned things around for a short time]. You can paper over the cracks and you can a new manager bounce where a new manager comes in, everyone’s happy for a couple of months and then all of a sudden, six months later it happens again.

“You can keep changing the manager and thinking that’s going to be the answer, but the reality is this has been proven over eight managers in 12 years, that’s not the answer.

“So Michael could leave, Michael might stay, we don’t know, the ownership haven’t got a clue what to do. They haven’t got a clue what to do. It’s rinse and repeat, isn’t it?

“We’ve seen what’s happened. [Ruben] Amorim, [Erik] ten Hag, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Michael Carrick’s in the job now, Jose Mourinho, Louis van Gaal, David Moyes, Ralf Rangnick, there’s eight I’ve just named, some of them are world-class managers who’ve had great reputations, success.

“There are a lot of promising young managers there, there are a lot of ex-players who know the club in there as well, who’ve come in and tried to instil the club’s values and align with the fanbase.”
