Former Manchester United defender has launched a scathing attack on Marcus Rashford, branding the out of form forward \u2018a petulant child\u2019.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old enjoyed the most prolific season of his career last term, netting 34 goals in 64 appearances for club and country.<\/p>\n
Rashford was rewarded for his goalscoring exploits with a new long-term contract that ended the lingering speculation surrounding his future. <\/p>\n
Like the majority of his teammates, however, Rashford has been unable to kick on from what was a promising first 12 months under the tutelage of Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n
United head to Turf Moor this evening looking to end a run of four straight defeats in all competitions, knowing anything but a three point haul would stem the flow of criticism being directed at Ten Hag.<\/p>\n
Parker, who won two Premier League titles during his Old Trafford career, has been astonished by Rashford\u2019s attitude this term and feels the club\u2019s fans have grown tired of his antics.<\/p>\n
\u2018He was mentioned with some of the biggest clubs in the world. Real Madrid and PSG were interested, but\u2026 Were they really interested in him? I don\u2019t think so. I think it was the media pushing it,\u2019 Parker told mybettingsites.co.uk.<\/p>\n

\u2018I would love to see Rashford proving me wrong, and I will happily eat a humble pie but I just don\u2019t see it happening. <\/p>\n
\u2018I think the fans are tired of seeing him faking an injury all the times he gets tackled. They want to see him get up, chase back and get the ball back.<\/p>\n
\u2018What he is doing is something you would expect to see in a schoolyard from a petulant child. <\/p>\n
\u2018You wouldn\u2019t expect it to happen at Old Trafford. Not in a million years.<\/p>\n
\u2018But he does that every single time and it shows me that he might not be a player for Man United after all.<\/p>\n
\u2018He needs to change his game and his attitude.\u2019<\/p>\n
