I was really surprised to see the result of the match. Because I never thought that Manchester United would perform so well on the field. Their performance was very bad, I thought that the match could be 1-0 and either team could win. Because Manchester United is a very strong team at home and it is not easy to beat them at home. So I thought that we will see a tough fight in the match and I saw the same picture on the field.

But still, only 1 win in their last 10 EPL matches. It's the worst start for Man United since the EPL era began.

Next match, Man United play against Liverpool at Anfield. Everyone is expecting Man United to lose. I would probably go against the majority because I think that's how the EPL works. EPL fans and the world would make noise if Man United lose again, keeping their position in the relegation zone. But a win against Liverpool would make the noise even louder, and that's what the media and the EPL want.

Look at the odds on Oddschecker. They're as different as night and day, even the odds for a draw.

The Manchester United and Aston villa match just ended a few minutes ago with both teams scoring four goals each (4:4). I’m sure that if there had been more time Manchester United would have won the game because they their performance improved in the second half particularly towards the end of game. Nevertheless, Manchester United played well tonight, despite drawing with Aston villa. If only Carrick could work on the team, I’m sure things will get better soon enough . However, I was expecting a win from Manchester United, so I was quite disappointed with the result.

Don't judge the real picture of the field by the result. I didn't watch the first half of the game in its entirety, so I can't say anything about the first half. But Manchester United's performance was very bad until the 90 minutes of the second half. It felt like Aston Villa was playing at home and Manchester United was playing away. But I couldn't understand what happened to them in the extra time of the match!

I decided to watch the Inter match knowing the result was certain, but then Manchester United scored a goal and made the match more exciting. When the score reached 3-4, the match seemed more interesting to watch, even then I was expecting Aston Villa to win. But Manchester United disappointed me again, returning to the score level with just 4 minutes left. There was even an attack in the last minute that was very close to scoring. If that goal had been scored, the match result would have become more interesting.

I'm just wondering what happened to those who had a live bet and backed Aston Villa to win! They may not be happy with this result in any way.

Football has a habit of producing results when expectations are heavily stacked against one side so i wouldn’t be surprised if Man United are able to get a win in their upcoming match with Liverpool.
A win for United would certainly make a much more bigger story than another defeat, and that’s one of the things makes this fixture an interesting one.

They’ve already slipped into relegation zone, so it’s up to them now to decide if they’re gonna stay there or redeem themselves, it all depends on their performances from now going forward cos it’s pretty embarrassing for them at this point.

Manchester United finally managed to draw this match, which should be considered a good result. From the way the opponent started the attack from the beginning of the match, I thought that the number of goals would be six or more, but in addition to considering the goals, Manchester United scored a goal.

Manchester United should work a lot on their defense position, they are not able to score goals, it is not like that, they are not able to win even with goals because their midfield and defense are weak and the defense players are not able to stop the opponent's players well, due to which Manchester United is not able to win that match even with multiple goals.

This season may go like this for Manchester United, but they need a lot of changes and the team president should definitely work on that.

Some people are mad for the fact that the team draw. I'm really flabbergasted with some people expectations. They knew before the game that Manchester United was not going to win the match, they weren't up to them because of their firm and they conceded 2 goals in just 4 minutes. However, same team was able to fight back and score total 4 goals and draw until the end. I didn't expect they will score the 4th goal due to the time and they did it.

The losses that Carrick has gotten this season, if theynwere draw it will better. I don't think they are going to remain in relegation by now. I the losses cost them much that even this draw couldn't remove them from relegation. They still have a long way to go before they may come out of this otherwise the relegation will be longer than they expected.

But Manchester United scored 2 goals in the first half of the match. Although Villa took the lead by two more goals in the second half, at that time I thought they would win, but the confidence of United players allowed them to scored 2 goals in extra time. In my opinion, this draw in the match is equivalent to success for Carrick at this bad moment for the team.

I don't think Manchester United stand a chance against Liverpool because of their current form.

If I were to stake on this match the best choice I will ever consider is Liverpool to win or draw.

[sergiorus]

This Manchester United team are currently performing more better than their past games

Ebbs and flows. Still incompetent manager. Still a hole in the central midfield.

the biggest concern right now is how they concede too many goals with ease, because if Michael Carrick do not addresses that in the coming games, their winless streak in the past seven games in the English premier league will surely continue, so that is one area of their team they have to improve very fast if they want to start winning games and climb up the table.

Exactly. It's not changing on its own. The only solution is to get a new competent manager who would be capable to fill the holes in the squad with good young players since they apparently cannot afford grabbing established celebrities from the transfer market anymore.

On the EPL table Liverpool is sitting on the fourth position while Manchester United is sitting on the 18th position, this is a clear point that Liverpool is at this moment performing better than Manchester United. However, team like Liverpool is really doing well, and will likely climb above this fourth position if they continue in their present form. As for the match between Liverpool, and Manchester United, Liverpool is likely to defeat them considering their present form, and it seems they are increasing in their performance as the premier League proceeds, at this moment am confident that Liverpool will gain advantage over them more especially as Liverpool is playing from home.

if you ask me, i would say that what Manchester united have lost is tactics, strategy and not really strength, I mean how can all the full grown men in the club all loose their strength against their opponents? i cant imagine.
Winning a match takes confidence, and confidence is born out of a working tactics/strategy, in a situation where this two are lost or not working, confidence also wont work and this is what i think is Man United's problem.
And for the coming match between this club and Liverpool, first is, both teams will likely score, but i also expect Liverpool to win the match, Liverpool winning is what i think the crowd will actually be betting on.

I won't be going against Liverpool in that game. Manchester United are not worth it. They are too bad for me to bet on them to win against Liverpool.
I get what you mean, and it is possible for Man United to win, but instead of betting on them, I would rather not bet on the game at all. Liverpool are not a very convincing side either. I don't have a lot of trust in them. The match would be after the international break, so there is still time to think about it and see how things unfold, but for now, I have no plans of betting on anybody to win that game. If I must bet on the game, I would play Liverpool to score at least 2 goals. There is no way the horrible Man United defence will not concede goals against Livepool.

[asriloni]

What a match!! What a great comeback!! It's Unbelievable! can't remember the last time I saw such a brilliant turnaround by the Red Devils.

Despite being down by two goals within just the first 4 minutes , the host team managed to equalize 2-2 by the end of the first half. But, in the second half, they conceded two more goals within a span of 8 minutes, dealing another blow at home. The unbelievable part is that the manchester united secured a late draw by scoring two goals after the 90th minute. The Dutch forward Zirkzee scored in the 90+2nd minute, and the young  winger's Dorgu score in the  90+6th minute brought the match level.

Earning a point with such a shaky defense is a massive achievement for the club. Expecting a  strong performance from the squad  without overhauling this leaky  backline would be foolish.

The comeback was epic, but i still think it won't change my perspective over them. The 1 point get at their home is literally changing nothing in the table. So they have to work harder to ensure they can leave from relegation zone.

Their abysmal defending is still remain their main problem, and i'm doubting them to get better with the same structure to play everyweek.

It's enjoyable game to watch, but overall, this result is terrible following the game happened at their home.

I can't even count how many times they get lost or drawn due to their brainless defense.

Who knows if they're trying to pick form because they have not lost in their recent two games at Old Trafford both in UCL and EPL. Their next match will speak for them if they're really getting better or not.

They have the strength to fight back currently, instead of accepting defeat like they always do in their previous games. That draw relieved Carrick from losing his place. Eight goals in one game is incredible.

Aston Villa took the lead by 2 goals in the first and fourth minutes of the match, which is a difficult time for any opponent team.

Although Villa took the lead by two more goals in the second half, at that time I thought they would win, but the confidence of United players allowed them to scored 2 goals in extra time. In my opinion, this draw in the match is equivalent to success for Carrick at this bad moment for the team.

You better start using your words very well. What do you mean Manchester United performed impressively? They literally conceded four good goals and all you write is about an impressive performance?! Good heavens, reading post like this will most definitely lead to brain rot.
The draw was fair outcome, prior to the game, I predicted the outcome but eight goals between the both sides was never imagined. But it is what it is. I what to see Carrick gone for good so I don't mind if he gets sacked after that Liverpool fixture coming up next two weeks. He needs to go same way the management should also go.

Carrick makes bad decisions, Amad wasn't fit enough but he exclaimed that he's fine to play, he would have let him recover fully before fixing him in a match, featuring Amad over lacey in yesterday's game cost United enough scoring opportunities.

[X-ray]

I can't believe with my eyes how terrible the refereeing in so called biggest league in the world. Two london clubs get dishonored due to the referee's stupid decisions, yet PL doesn't give any feedback regarding this. At this point, i think EPL refereeing needs to be totally overhauled.

No doubt that so many complaints keep coming to them because they never stop to create mistakes. EPL needs to do something because this is harming lots of club as well as all of bettors who bet on them.

The reff who has zero integrity has to be removed. I'm wondering how long for EPL to fully solving this problem.

This season may go like this for Manchester United, but they need a lot of changes and the team president should definitely work on that.

Honestly, if you should ask me to detailed closely on that Manchester United match between Aston Villa, i will humbly said that the match was planned already on what the result must look like, because looking at how Manchester United manage to draw the match it looks as if the match was a fixed match but i don't really know if the match was a fixed match but judging the match from when Aston Villa score their first and second goals within the 4 minutes of the first half and before Aston Villa could dilute on their goals, Manchester United was awarded a Penalty in the 16 minutes of the game and still scored on the 44 minutes of the same first half, and when second half started the same Penalty was awarded to Aston Villa and before Manchester United could understand what is going on, Aston Villa has scored 4 goals, and funnest part was that, Manchester United was always coming from behind by 2 goals down from the first half to second half and Manchester United was able to equalize those goals, so with the performance of Manchester United yesterday, if they should put more effort in their defense, believe me that, Manchester United club will be among teams that any clubs will be afraid of meeting.

I know Amad has not been playing like the way he used to play but that doesn't mean he's the reason they didn't win or performance great against Aston villa. The problem is a general thing and it is very obvious it is a general case so what the team need now is total overhaul if at all it is possible I mean it could be but it is going to take them a lot of time and resources. The way Michael Carrick keep switching players to different position is what I don't really understand, switching of players is not the problem perhaps he should remember the cues that made him had those victories last season
