Paul Parker Claims Rashford is "Not Good" and Adds Nothing to the Team

Manchester United legend Paul Parker has made controversial remarks about forward Marcus Rashford, stating that he is "not a good player" and does not contribute anything to the team.

Poor Form This Season

Rashford, 26, has been struggling this season, managing to score only once in 14 appearances across all competitions. This is a significant drop in performance compared to last season, where he scored an impressive 17 goals in the Premier League alone for the Red Devils.

Previous Tally Masked Flaws

Despite Rashford's goal-scoring record, Parker believes that it overshadowed his flaws as a player. He argues that football is not solely about numbers and that Rashford lacks discipline and defensive contribution.

Controversial Contract Extension

Parker also criticizes Manchester United for hastily rewarding Rashford with a new contract after his goal-scoring spree. He claims that the club is not being rewarded for their investment, as Rashford's performance has been inconsistent ever since.

Rashford's Potential in Different Positions

Parker suggests that Rashford would be more effective playing as a center forward alongside Rasmus Hojlund. He believes that Rashford does not possess the same skill set as Manchester City stars Jack Grealish or Phil Foden and should avoid playing as a left-winger. Instead, Parker advises Rashford to consider playing as a center forward or a right-winger, where his directness and ability to deliver early crosses could be assets.
