Michael Owen shone the spotlight on Manchester United fans after the Red Devils completed a sensational 4-4 comeback draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford.

Manchester United fans were left deflated on Sunday after Aston Villa were 2-0 up after five minutes, as Alysson and Nicolas Jackson both found the back of the net.

“I think this is a better team that he, or the club, has constructed over recent times.

“There’s certainly fight there; there’s certainly love for him from the terraces; the crowd are with him.

“They’re coming back from 2-0 down on a regular basis; there’s a lot to be said for that. He’s not lost the dressing room — a phrase that people like to use.”

Carrick’s last win in the Premier League as Man Utd’s permanent head coach came back in August against Ipswich Town. The Red Devils’ only two other wins — against Sabah and Roma — this season came in the Champions League. United are now out of Premier League action for the international break and will not return to action until 22nd November against Liverpool at Anfield.
