Former Manchester United star Paul Parker has launched one other astonishing attack on Alejandro Garnacho, insisting he has ‘a greater end product’ than the Argentina international.
Garnacho is predicted to depart Old Trafford after falling out with Ruben Amorim at the top of last season.
The winger was ignored of the starting XI for the Europa League final against Tottenham in May, publicly criticising his manager’s decision in front of the media after the sport.
Amorim was reported to have told Garnacho to ‘pray he finds one other club’ days later.
He’s certainly one of five players wanting to leave this month, with United hoping to get as much as £70million for the 21-year-old.

Former England international Parker, who spent five years at United from 1991 to 1995, took aim at Garnacho last season, insisting his form and perceived attitude problems were ‘letting his family down’.
Parker has now blasted him for ‘living off shinning an overhead kick into the highest corner’ – referencing Garnacho’s goal of the season winner against Everton from the 2023-24 season.
The previous Atletico Madrid teen scored 11 and provided 10 assists last season but was also guilty of passing up some glaring opportunities – as Amorim noted in his response to the player’s criticism of his selection decisions.
And even after hanging up his boots 28 years ago, Parker suggested he could still give the winger a run for his money in the case of delivering a final ball.
‘Sell the boy,’ Parker said when asked Garnacho’s future, speaking via BritishGambler.co.uk.
‘He needs to maneuver on, needs to grasp what football is about. Not a game of golf, and you wish players around you.
‘He needs to take a look at his game and what he’s somewhat than what he desires to be – he should wish to be Garnacho, not the previous United winger that plays for Portugal… and have a little bit of humanity.
I’d say I actually have higher end product than him. He’s more concerned about attempting to rating and what he’s going to do after to have a good time than actually scoring a goal.
‘His end product is terrible, absolutely terrible. Living off shinning an overhead kick into the highest corner against Everton.
‘I wonder what type of player he’s. Not stuffed with tricks, not that quick. I’m attempting to determine what his game is, I actually don’t know what his strengths are.’
Despite interest from Napoli, Garnacho favours a move keeping him within the Premier League, with Chelsea and Tottenham monitoring his situation.
