Manchester United will rot 18th in the Premier League table during the international break even after scrambling an unlikely 4-4 draw against Aston Villa. Michael Carrick’s side fought back from a two-goal deficit, inflicted in just four first-half minutes, and went into the interval level after goals from Bruno Fernandes and Youri Tielemans. They had to pull off the trick a second time after John McGinn’s penalty and Leon Goretzka’s back-post tap-in made it 4-2 to Unai Emery’s visitors. But Carrick’s side refused to throw in the towel despite how hopeless they were for the majority of this game and his substitutes paid off handsomely.Joshua Zirkzee made it 4-3 in the 92nd minute, teed up by fellow sub Patrick Dorgu, and Dorgu completed the comeback with a 96th-minute finish of his own to send Old Trafford into raptures.CEO Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox celebrated in the directors’ box, all while Emery stormed off down the tunnel before the final whistle. Daily Mail Sport’s NATHAN SALT was in position at Old Trafford to grade both sets of players… Patrick Dorgu (right) salvaged the most unlikely of points for Manchester United on Sunday John McGinn (right) was immense but Villa suffered when he went off as they finished 4-4Manchester United (4-2-3-1)Senne Lammens – 4A mess of a performance. The Belgian got totally muddled up when he tried to save Alysson’s first-minute shot with his knees and it flew between his legs. He could then only parry Alysson’s shot straight to Jackson, who made it 2-0. Sold short by his defenders for goals three and four but the United malaise seems to have worn down Lammens, who looked so good last season.Noussair Mazraoui – 4Looked like a rabbit in headlights at the start of the game as the ball ricocheted off him en route to Alysson making it 1-0. Did get an assist for cutting the ball back to Tielemans just before half-time but as an overall performance, Villa feasted on his shortcomings.Leny Yoro – 6Looked like the only United defender capable of defending to a respectable level until even he got sucked into the mistake-fest that United put on at the back. A positive first half, in which he made a strong recovery run to deny Jackson racing through for a third goal, was undone when he inexplicably headed onto his own bar under no pressure to gift Villa a fourth as Leon Goretzka turned in the knockdown.Harry Maguire – 5Made a key last-man challenge but otherwise this was another game where he hasn’t been able to organise a defence that is crying out for leadership. Forced off at half-time just days after appearing to tweak his hamstring against Roma.Diogo Dalot – 3Absolutely hopeless, just as he was against Roma on Tuesday. Switched off in the first minute and made a weak attempt to block Alysson, who scored. Then, two minutes into the second half, he recklessly fouled Alysson to give away a penalty. Many fans cheered when he was substituted. There has to be a better left back solution than Dalot right now. Thousands of United fans cheered at the announcement that Diogo Dalot was going offYouri Tielemans – 6Scored his first goal for United, and against his former side no less. When United were rolling, Tielemans was at the heart of it all. Faded in the second half when Villa took the lead again and he was unsurprisingly taken off as Carrick’s first substitution.Kobbie Mainoo – 6Neat and tidy on the ball but got bested by McGinn for the time the Scottish was on the pitch. One of the few who genuinely does look to play forwards when possible. Amad – 5His goal drought goes on as we rapidly approach a year since his last one. He’s electric when he’s bearing down on a full-back and he had to score when played in by Tielemans after escaping the sight of Maatsen. Does so much well but his end product simply must improve or he won’t merit starts. Bruno Fernandes – 7Scored a penalty for the second time in a week but cut a frustrated figure for large spells here as the team collapsed. His corner onto the head of Dorgu was the type of quality you need in crunch moments and that’s why he rarely comes off. Matheus Cunha – 7Looks like the only ray of light these days as this feckless United side fall to even greater depths. Did well to wrestle himself free of Harwood-Bellis to break and win a penalty after a clueless foul from Boubacar Kamara. Stung the palms of Suzuki soon after. Matheus Cunha dragged United back into the game and did brilliantly to win an early penaltyBryan Mbeumo – 5Didn’t do enough to trouble Villa’s backline as he once again found himself deployed down the middle. Only took three shots in this basketball-type game. MANAGER: Michael Carrick – 6Could only scratch his chin in disbelief 60 seconds in when Villa took the lead and he looked down and out when it became 4-2 early in the second half. But he was proactive with his substitutions and they all paid off. He deserves credit for that. SUBSAyden Heaven (for Maguire, 46) – 5Booked for a reckless – and late – lunge. Interesting he got the nod ahead of Matthijs de Ligt at half-time. Patrick Dorgu (for Dalot, 66) – 8Goal and assist off the bench. Has to be the starter at left back from here on out or United will remain in a washing machine cycle of misery defensively. Mason Mount (for Tielemans, 66) – 5Drew a furious response when he ballooned a shot over the bar when United were chasing the game late on. Shea Lacey (for Amad Diallo, 66) – 7Electric, again. He’s fearless and United have needed that this week when the chips were down. Joshua Zirkzee (for Bryan Mbeumo, 83) – 7Clinical when the chance came and it was his goal at 4-3 that gave United the opportunity to stage a dramatic late finish. He gives them a focal point that they are crying out for. Aston Villa (4-2-3-1)Zion Suzuki – 6Conceded four times and was livid at the end that VAR didn’t punish Lammens backing in to him with the last action of the game. It was a performance that saw Suzuki make some huge saves in the first half. There was one big right hand to deny Amad just before half-time and he was also full stretch to tip Cunha’s curling shot away, too, just before. Couldn’t see Tielemans’ equaliser at 2-2 with Mbeumo in front and will feel aggrieved at the finale. Taylor Harwood-Bellis – 4First Premier League start for Villa since his £30million summer switch and he will have not expected for it to come at right back. Found himself in an unfortunate mismatch against Cunha and the ease at which the Brazilian brushed him off shows why it’s unlikely to be a long-term assignment given the quality of wide players in the league.Victor Lindelof – 5Was so often given the mocking treatment that has now fallen onto the likes of Dalot and Mazraoui during his time at Manchester United but Lindelof is a better player than many here care to admit. Reads the game well and did well to cut out a run into the box by Patrick Dorgu ten minutes from time but was found wanting on the final set piece that triggered the equaliser. Victor Lindelof is a better player than a lot of United fans may care to admitPau Torres – 6Felt like a quarterback for this Villa side for most of it with how many touches he was able to take under very little pressure. Had a big smile on his face for long spells but that was firmly washed off by the end. Abysmal marking as the game entered stoppage time and both Zirkzee and Dorgu scored.Ian Maatsen – 5Was given a torrid time by Amad in the first half and still gives opponents too many opportunities to get at him. Shea Lacey had his way with him when he came on, too. Defensively not good enough. Leon Goretzka – 6Spent years getting linked to Manchester United but now here as an opposition player, he made them pay with a goal at the Stretford End to make it 4-2. Tidy player.Boubacar Kamara – 5Idiotic foul to bring Cunha down to give United a lifeline in a game they weren’t in 15 minutes in. Seemed to be caught in two minds whether to push onto Tielemans or Mainoo in the 30-minute spell where United looked like a competent football team. Breathed a sigh of relief when the hosts resorted to type.Alysson – 7A total menace that knew within seconds that he had the beating of Dalot each and every time. Clinical strike in the opening minute to give Villa the lead and his trickery and directness paid off a second time at the start of the second half when he baited Dalot into conceding a penalty. Brilliant outing. Alysson won a penalty after outwitting Diogo Dalot in the United box early in the second halfJohn McGinn – 8 (MOTM)Best player on the pitch. He made the right decision time after time and even when pressed on the ball when United started to find a groove, he looked to have unshakeable composure. Cool as you like to score a penalty in front of the Stretford End – not least having missed a penalty against Fulham – and then it was his free-kick that led to the fourth. Still feels underrated.Johan Manzambi – 7A fearless dribbler that has the potential to be the jewel of this Villa crown in the years to come. In a league that has long ground a lot of flair players down, his physical dribbling through the lines is a sight to behold. Completed more dribbles than any other player by the time he came off.Nicolas Jackson – 6Quick as a flash to score from Lammens’ spill four minutes in and really should have done better when he was played through one v one, only to see Yoro beat him for pace. Led the line in a way that Manchester United were crying out for.MANAGER: Unai Emery – 5Has never won at Old Trafford as Villa boss and this is the most regrettable of the lot having led both 2-0 and 4-2 here, only to throw it away in both halves. He stormed off furiously before the final whistle.
