Outdated Mourinho needs to change tactical approach to catch Man City – Parker

The ex-England defender has urged the Red Devils to "get the fear factor back" by playing a more attractive, exciting brand of football

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has failed to adapt sufficiently to the rigours of the modern game to compete with neighbours City, according to former Red Devil Paul Parker.

The ex-England defender spent five years at Old Trafford, winning two titles under Sir Alex Ferguson, and believes that United have a need to revolutionise if they are to make up ground.

City are currently 13 points ahead of United having played a game fewer, with Pep Guardiola’s side winning the title with five matches to spare.
