Michael Carrick still faces a nervy few weeks despite Sunday's incredible comeback.
The Reds' head coach looked to be on his way out of Old Trafford last month when United were hammered 4-1 by Como in the Champions League and then 3-0 by Bournemouth in the Premier League.
United's hierarchy held crisis talks on October 26 and decided to stick with Carrick. However, it was clear that results needed to improve over the final three games before the international break.
Things started badly with a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea and United's task was made harder by Lisandro Martinez's sending off in the second half. Carrick was on the brink when United entered half-time 2-0 down against Roma in the Champions League, but a spirited comeback saw United pick up a crucial 3-2 win against the Italian club.
That result meant it was all on the game against Aston Villa for Carrick. United were two goals down against Unai Emery's side twice but managed to fight back and ultimately draw the game 4-4. With one win, one draw and one defeat, United's hierarchy must decide if they have seen enough to convince them to stick with Carrick or not.

MEN Sport has taken a look at the options available to United should Carrick leave.
Pochettino is reportedly willing to leave the US to join United. He has previously been considered for the job but has not been chosen.
Howe left Newcastle in the summer after losing a host of key players. Ineos are thought to admire the English head coach and perhaps the prospect of managing United is too big for him to turn down.
There has been suggestions the former Germany and Bayern Munich head coach was not interested in the United job. If Carrick leaves, perhaps Nagelsmann may change his mind.
Last month, Conte moved quickly to deny suggestions he was in advanced talks with a number of clubs. He has spoken of his desire to manage a fallen giant. United are the biggest giant to have fallen.
In a lot of ways Emery would be the dream appointment for United. However, it would require the club to dig deep to lure him from Villa. Even after the 4-4 draw on Sunday, Emery remains a better option than most on this list.
