Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. The result on October 10 leaves United 13th in the Premier League table with just six points from six games.
Bryan Mbeumo gave United the lead in the 73rd minute. It looked like the winner in a tight match. But Dominic Solanke headed home an equaliser in the 92nd minute.
Drama at Old Trafford
Spurs played the last part of the game with ten men. Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for an incident with Luke Shaw. Even so, the visitors found a way back into the match.
United had been second best for much of the first hour. The late collapse left the home fans frustrated. Their only win this season came against Ipswich Town in August.
Carrick Under the Spotlight
Manager Michael Carrick is now under serious pressure. Reports suggest the club could open talks with a new manager this week. Names linked with the job include Eddie Howe and Antonio Conte.
United sit far from the top four. With tough fixtures ahead, Carrick needs results fast. The next few games could decide his future at the club, according to reports.
United started slowly and struggled to create clear chances. The breakthrough finally came through Mbeumo in the second half. But the late equaliser undid all their hard work.
Club legends and pundits have questioned the team’s direction. The board is expected to review the situation during the coming week. For now, Carrick must lift his players for the next fixture.
