'Man Utd have too many players trying to be magicians’ - Red Devils could fall behind Leicester, says former defender

Paul Parker feels there are issues to address all over the field at Old Trafford, with weekend opponents threatening to break the established elite

Manchester United have too many players trying to be “magicians”, says Paul Parker, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side in danger of falling behind weekend opponents Leicester.

The Foxes, under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, have found a settled system and been able to recover quickly from the record-breaking sale of Harry Maguire to Old Trafford.

United, in contrast, are still searching for consistency, both as a collective and as individuals, and former Red Devils defender Parker believes there are issues for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to address all over the field.
