Man Utd despatched message about Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and relegation rivals
One Manchester United legend has delivered a withering assessment of the club’s strikers and the teams around them in the Premier League relegation battle
Paul Parker reckons Manchester United‘s strikers are so bad that none of them would be good enough for one of the club’s relegation rivals.
Former United star Parker is convinced boss Ruben Amorim has nowhere near enough quality in depth to be be even close to challenging for the Premier League title. And he singled out United’s attackers, including Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford, for scathing criticism.
Parker believes that the teams down at the bottom of the table in a relegation battle wouldn’t take United’s current front three. Parker told SportsBoom: “The general standard of the club, well for me, the players are not there.
“I can understand the [Manuel] Ugarte signing, I’m starting to see why they’ve gone and got him. There’s definitely something about his game which will help Manchester United, in my opinion, and what they want to do.
“You only have to look at our front three, which has been our front three for a while now, well any team fighting to saves their lives wouldn’t want that front three. But then nobody was interested in what I said, because I wasn’t Gary Neville or Roy Keane.
“[Marcus] Rashford or [Rasmus] Hojlund, they just wouldn’t do. There’s not enough from them to even help a team down the bottom of the division, let alone up near the top.
“If I look at someone like West Ham, for example, they’d have [Mohammed] Kudus, [Jarrod] Bowen and [Lucas] Paqueta, and that’s a better front three than United have.”
