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.

Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi has named Thierry Henry as the greatest player in Premier League history, putting the Arsenal legend at the top of his list.

Mikel Obi, who played alongside legends like Lampard, Drogba, and Terry during his time at Chelsea, doesn’t believe Salah has done enough to be named the greatest.

Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Mikel said, “Numbers-wise, you can put Salah in the conversation, but when you talk about a complete player, you can’t put him in that conversation.”

Mikel, who’s close friends with Salah, praised the winger’s growth over the years. “I’m a huge fan of Salah; I’ve known him since our Chelsea days. He’s a different player now—mentally and physically stronger, and more confident.”

But for Mikel, there’s one player who stands above all: “The best player to have played in the Premier League is Thierry Henry,” he said. “For two to three years, he completely dominated the league. He had everything—fantastic on the ball, fast, skilled—he was phenomenal.”
