MANCHESTER UNITED should consider selling Harry Maguire this summer, according to Paul Parker.
The former Red Devils defender says they already have the foundations of a centre-back pairing in Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane.
Man Utd should start by selling captain Maguire, says Parker
The 57-year-old won two Premier League titles with the Red Devils
And he thinks they should cash in this summer and move on from the 28-year-old England star.
Parker spoke to the Express and claimed: “If United, in my opinion, were to get somewhere near to their money back on Harry Maguire, I think they’ll have to think about it.
“I think Lindelof and Varane, you know, they could build something on there maybe, in a mode of what they’re looking for and where the club wants to be.
“You’re talking about players who are definitely more agile, a little bit quicker, better defenders in one against one situations and I think you have to look at it that way.
“Me, personally, for United to go forward, that’s the starting area.”
The scrutiny currently on show at Old Trafford doesn’t help and Ralf Rangnick’s team have been pretty woeful all over the pitch at times this season.
The criticism of Maguire’s defending comes this week despite his side struggling to score in a goalless draw at home to Watford.
Man Utd are unbeaten in six games but four of those have been draws.
Rangnick even had to slam rumours of a toxic dressing room and rubbish reports that Cristiano Ronaldo was due to be made captain.
But club legend Wes Brown insisted that Ronaldo is the right man to lead the line.
United are away to local rivals and league leaders Man City on Sunday.
