Manchester United's difficult season has prompted strong reactions from both current and former players following their dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa. The result left Michael Carrick's side 18th in the Premier League table, with just eight points from their first 10 matches.

Patrick Dorgu called on his teammates to fight for the manager and the club, admitting that being in the relegation zone was painful. Matheus Cunha shared his frustration, insisting that such a situation is not normal for a club of United's stature and that the squad has enough quality to turn things around.

Former United captain Roy Keane was also critical, arguing that the team can perform much better. He pointed to the loss of experienced players, a lack of confidence and the recent drop in form of goalkeeper Senne Lammens and captain Bruno Fernandes.

Ashley Young delivered another harsh assessment, suggesting that some United players appear unfamiliar with each other on the pitch. The former defender believes there needs to be a significant improvement in the team's understanding and overall performances.

With the international break approaching, Manchester United face growing pressure to turn their situation around. The next major test will come against Liverpool on November 22-nd.
