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.

The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
