  "account": "Michael Carrick remains confident of continuing as Manchester United's manager despite the club currently languishing in the relegation zone. On Sunday, United staged a remarkable comeback, rallying from a two-goal deficit to secure a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford. The decisive goals in stoppage time were scored by Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu, earning the team a crucial point and potentially sparing Carrick from the possibility of resignation ahead of a two-week international break. Carrick told Sky Sports, \"We haven’t won enough games, but I expect to move forward and keep working on the things that we’ve been working on. Showing a lot of the good (things) in the game today, tighten up on a few mistakes and win football matches.\" The results from the weekend placed United in the relegation zone for the first time since 1980, but Carrick remains determined to turn things around. \"We’re in November,\" he added. \"I don’t like the situation where we are, I don’t like the results that we’ve had, but we can definitely do something about it.\" The former midfielder firmly dismissed any speculation about his intentions, stating, \"That’s not going to happen.\" Carrick emphasized his clear understanding of the club's needs, saying, \"I’m pretty clear where we need to go and how we need to get there... as a normal international week is, we’ll have some training, we’ll have one or two days off, not too much, but we’ll train and get ready for the next game.\" Manchester United's next fixture is against Liverpool on November 22.",
