Paul Parker Says Amorim Made the Right Choice Letting Rashford Leave Man U
Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has weighed in on Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa, suggesting that new manager Ruben Amorim won’t have any regrets about letting the forward leave Old Trafford.
Speaking to Metro, Parker argued that Amorim made the right call by offloading Rashford, citing his inconsistency and playing style as key reasons.
According to the former England international, Rashford was not the kind of forward Amorim needed, and keeping him in the squad could have disrupted the team’s balance.
“I don’t think Amorim will regret it at all. Rashford wouldn’t have given him what he wants,” Parker said. “He is not a natural center-forward. Even in the Ipswich game, yes, he scored, but he was invisible for most of the match.”
Parker also pointed out Rashford’s struggles with physicality, claiming that the forward dislikes having defenders behind him because he doesn’t enjoy the physical battle.
He further suggested that Rashford’s attitude in recent months might have been a distraction for the team, something Amorim didn’t need in his first season at the club.

Arsenal Defeat Man U as Amorim Sets Premier League Record for Fast Losses
Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday handed manager Ruben Amorim an unwanted piece of Premier League history. A well-placed header from Riccardo Calafiori was enough to secure all three points for the visitors, leaving United empty-handed despite a performance that showed signs of improvement from last season.
The loss, however, means Amorim now holds an unenviable record. Stats from Opta reveal he has suffered 15 defeats in just 28 league matches, with only seven wins and six draws. No manager, outside of those in charge of newly promoted clubs, has reached that many defeats so quickly since Paul Hart at Portsmouth in 2009, who hit the mark after 27 games.
The numbers highlight United’s ongoing struggles.

Inter Milan Walks Away From Signing Lookman After Atalanta Refuse to Lower Price
Inter Milan have decided to step back from the chase to sign Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman after weeks of back-and-forth talks with Atalanta failed to produce an agreement. The move, which at first looked like it was edging closer, has now fallen apart because both clubs refused to shift ground.
Inter were very keen on bringing the Nigerian international to the San Siro after his remarkable season in Italy, but their offers didn’t convince Atalanta. The Milan side reportedly put around €40 million on the table with the promise of bonuses that could push it slightly higher, but Atalanta were not interested.
They wanted a straight €50 million in cash, insisting that anything less was not worth discussing. Even when Inter improved the package to over €42 million plus add-ons, Atalanta still waved it off. The Bergamo club also refused any idea of spread payments or loan deals, demanding that if Inter truly wanted their star man, they had to pay in full and upfront.
For Lookman, the situation has been frustrating. The 26-year-old had made it clear he wanted the move, especially after shining last season with double-digit goals in Serie A and a hat-trick in the Europa League final. Reports suggest he was even willing to reduce his salary just to make the transfer possible.
Recently, Lookman deleted almost every Atalanta-related post from his social media, stayed away from pre-season training for a few days, and went as far as handing in a formal transfer request. He also accused the club of breaking earlier promises to let him leave if the right opportunity came.
Despite his actions, Atalanta’s management has not blinked.
Club chiefs stressed that Lookman is still under contract until 2027 and will only be sold on their terms. They also hinted that any move within Italy was never part of the original agreement when Lookman joined, which makes the Inter pursuit even more complicated.
