Why it matters
The result highlights the ongoing struggles of a major football club and the competitive nature of the Premier League.
Manchester United and Aston Villa were involved in a Premier League classic on Sunday, as United fought back from two goals down twice to draw 4-4 thanks to a 96th-minute equalizer.
United are still without a win in eight Premier League games, and sit in the relegation zone after a woeful start to the season, but Michael Carrick’s ailing side showed incredible spirit to launch another amazing comeback.
Unai Emery and his new-look Aston Villa will be feeling sick that they somehow blew this one, but they are now six games unbeaten in the league and are clearly heading in the right direction.
