The Red Devils featured a three-man defense in the Premier League game with Phil Jones alongside Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof. Meanwhile, Eric Bailly remained on the bench yet again. He has made just seven appearances in all competitions this season for United.
Parker spoke about why Bailly is down in the pecking order, highlighting his style of defending. He said:
The 58-year-old has referred to the Ivorian’s injury record in the past, which makes him unreliable. Parker said:
Parker believes that the centre-back has not got the patience and composure that is required of the modern defenders to play out from the back.
He added:
The former Manchester United player wrapped up his thoughts about the defender by taking a cheeky dig at him. He pointed out how he’s making a fortune without stepping on the pitch. Parker said:
Since signing for Manchester United in 2016 from Villarreal, Bailly has only managed 113 appearances due to lengthy spells spent on the treatment table.
Manchester United boss Rangnick calls for massive rebuild to restore club’s reputation
Manchester United will go a fifth consecutive season trophyless. They are also far from the standards on the pitch they set under Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign. Interim manager Ralf Rangnick failed to revitalize the team after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking in November. They are struggling to finish in the top-four.
Their awful performance against Liverpool at Anfield was an eye-opener to how far behind the club has fallen.
After the game, Rangnick addressed the media. He conceded that in terms of quality, Jurgen Klopp’s side are as much as six years ahead of Manchester United, saying:
Manchester United have chosen Ajax manager Erik ten Hag as their next boss to turn the fortunes of the club.
