Man United’s full-backs are not fit for purpose, says Paul Parker
Man United’s full-backs are not fit for purpose, says Paul Parker Iconic Manchester United full-back Paul Parker says the club needs to revamp their full-back roster if they want to mount a serious challenge on the Premier League next season. Speaking on behalf of Spreadex Sports in an exclusive interview with The Peoples Person, Parker had begun by saying that United are not providing Benjamin Sesko with the right kind of service . He went on to say that due to the inverted nature of forwards such as Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United need the full-backs to provide the width and put crosses in for the big Slovenian.
But do they have the full-backs to do that? Are United’s full-backs fit for purpose? “ Dalot is more bothered about doing an Irish jig on the ball,” Parker laughed, “Even trying to copy his compatriot in Ronaldo and doing stepovers, and they’re absolutely awful.
I’ve seen more flexibility in an ironing board with his legs going over. ” “Luke Shaw doesn’t get far enough forward because his fitness doesn’t allow him to go up and down. So it’s very, very difficult not having flexible full-backs.
” “They need players who can run. I think [Noussair] Mazraoui can do it. Mazraoui is very good in that role.
Mazraoui, put him in any position, like at the weekend he did great going in at centre-half. ” “But they need a left-back. Some will say [Patrick] Dorgu.
