United had conceded three goals in each of their last two matches, but managed to hold Villa to a goalless draw on Sunday.

Jamie Carragher criticised the decision to retain the former Ajax boss, labelling it as one of the 'worst decisions' made by the United hierarchy. However, Neville hinted that the owners might continue to support the manager in the hope they can weather their current difficulties, reports the Mirror.
