Manchester United legend Paul Parker believes the Glazer ownership is the root cause of the club’s problems.
Many United fans are debating regarding the identity of their next permanent manager.
The likes of Mauricio Pochettino and Erik Ten Hag, coaches of Paris Saint-Germain and Ajax presently, are the two favorites to take over from Ralf Rangnick in the summer.
However, Parker believes that United will not progress until something fundamental changes at the club.
“Today, it’s different,” said Parker to the Daily Mail.
“If players decide they don’t like the manager, they don’t play. They tell their agents and the agents run to the owners. And we’ve got owners listening to people who’ve seen something on social media.
“And players sitting there, looking at the manager going, “I know you’re not here for long because upstairs they don’t like you” so when Man United have an interim management consultant in charge, what chance have you got?
“It’s become a conveyor belt. Certain players are just waiting for someone different to come in to see what happens next. Without the stability of someone in charge who everyone knows is the boss, teams are a mishmash.
“United are a mishmash. I can’t see that changing. You’d have to change the owners and you can’t change the owners, can you?”
“Some of them have played for at least three managers,” added Parker.
“Yet the same things are going on. You can see there’s something wrong. It’s not individuals, it’s the collective.
“It’s reminiscent of replacing Sir Matt Busby. You had Frank O’Farrell, Wilf McGuinness, Tommy Docherty, Dave Sexton and Ron Atkinson. Sir Alex was the sixth, and that was when the club was run by a family of butchers.
“Now we have people from outside picking and choosing when they take money out. All United are, really, is the highest-profile ATM machine in world football. Not bad is it? Come in, tap a few numbers and take out millions in dividends.”
