This is the worst Man Utd team in Premier League history and they can no longer attract big names, blasts Paul Parker
PAUL PARKER has claimed this Manchester United team is the worst in their Premier League history.
The Red Devils go into their Boxing Day clash with Newcastle in eighth - their worst position at Christmas since 1989.
And Parker thinks things will only get worse if changes aren't made at Old Trafford.
He told Bet O'Clock: “I would say this is the worst United team in the Premier League era. The deterioration from 2013 has just been really poor.
"They have only won three trophies since then and if something does not change ASAP, things will only get worse for the club.”

Parker laid the blame for United's failings at Ed Woodward's door and claimed top players will no longer be interested in moving to Old Trafford.
He added: “Players do not look at past winnings. Players will look at whether they are going to get Champions League on a yearly basis which at the moment is not something that Manchester United are going to do.”
“If they were to need to get a new manager, it would be [Woodward's] fault as the person he employed to manage the team, has not worked out.
"He has to be held responsible for the people he is bringing in.

“With every business you need structure to be able to function but United don’t have one at the moment. They are being used more as a bank than a football club.
“The structure of how the club is run needs to change first and then you can look to bring a new manager in. Sir Alex Ferguson managed the club and the team, so it worked for him.
"At the moment, there is no cohesion between the club, the coaches and the team upstairs working doing the business.”
