Manchester United’s front three would be snubbed by teams fighting Premier League relegation, according to Paul Parker.
Nottingham Forest are currently bottom of the league having won two of their opening 14 games with Wolves 19th and Southampton 18th heading into the final round of top-flight fixtures before the World Cup in Qatar starts on November 20.
But none of those teams, or indeed the clubs around them, would take a chance on United’s front three, who Parker describes as ‘absolutely terrible’.
Former United defender Parker was quizzed on United’s front three following comments made by Gary Neville, who recently claimed that Erik ten Hag’s side have the weakest attacking power of the big six teams.
‘Manchester United’s front three, they are the weakest out of the top six,’ Neville said.
‘United’s front players aren’t as good as they should be. Ten Hag is getting the maximum out of them, I don’t know where the money’s gone again.’
Parker, meanwhile, told bettors: ‘I never agree on what Gary Neville says but this time he actually has a point about Man United´s front three being the worst of the big six teams.

‘To be honest, if you handed over the front three players, except for Antony, to the teams that are struggling for relegation, they would give them back to Man United right away.
‘They would prefer to stick with what they already got because the players from Man United wouldn´t improve their side.
‘The front three at Man United is poor. The only one who is actually performing is Antony.
‘But the rest of the attacking players at Man United are absolutely terrible and I don´t believe that they will ever improve.’
Mikael Silvastre, however, has rubbished Neville’s claim that United have the weakest front three of the big six clubs.
