Phil Neville names four players who will get Manchester United relegated

Phil Neville names four players who will get Manchester United relegated Phil Neville says the back-four that finished the 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday will get Manchester United relegated to the Championship. United twice fought back from two goals down to earn a point against Villa. But they will still go into the international break in the relegation zone. The Red Devils endured a nightmare start to the home encounter. They conceded two goals inside the opening four minutes with goalkeeper Senne Lammens at fault. United managed to level the scores before half-time, thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ penalty and Youri Tielemans’ 44th-minute strike. Villa looked on course for a big win after scoring twice through Josh McGinn and Leon Goretzka at the start of the second half. But the hosts salvaged a point after a dramatic comeback in injury-time. Substitute Patrick Dorgu set up Joshua Zirkzee for a 92nd minute goal before getting in on the act himself by heading home a corner. United finished the game with a back-four of Noussair Mazraoui, Leny Yoro, Ayden Heaven and Dorgu, and Neville said that backline would get the club relegated. Speaking to NBC Sports after the match, he said: “The back-four that finished the game – Mazraoui, Yoro, Heaven and Dorgu – that gets you relegated.” United could sack Michael Carrick as manager Michael Carrick was on the brink of being sacked after the 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth last month. The club held discussions over the 45-year-old’s future and decided to give him three games to save his job. United lost 2-0 to Chelsea in their next match at Stamford Bridge, but then recorded a famous Champions League comeback win over Roma. A victory against Villa would likely have kept Carrick in the role, but the draw has thrown his future into major doubt. The manner of United’s comeback against Roma and Villa suggests the players are still behind Carrick. But they are in the relegation zone and the club’s hierarchy could take a big decision in the coming weeks.
