      McTominay, 26, has started just seven Premier League games this season, only one of which has come since the start of October.
      And Parker, who won two league titles with Man Utd in the 1990s, believes a move north of the border could be on the cards for the Red Devils man.
      Speaking to MyBettingSites, he said: “I think it could be a possibility for him to go to Rangers. He is not good enough to play for Celtic.
      “There is no way he would be able to play regularly for Celtic in the way they play. He will have a better chance of playing if he moves to Rangers.

      “But it’s a big decision for him to leave Man Utd. But he has to do it because right now he is also playing jeopardy with his spot in the national team.
      “He can be a sub for Man Utd but if he’s got anything about himself he wants to play as many games as possible.
      “Right now his career isn’t something to write about and he needs to show that he is hungry enough to get a decent career.
      “I expect that he wants to leave Man Utd to show that he is a good player.”

      Erik ten Hag still has faith Martial can deliver but he has made no secret of his desire for United to being in a new frontman.
      Ten Hag said of the Frenchman: “I’m sure a striker like he is will improve our team.
      “You always need different qualities in a squad to be technical in games and between games, see what you need, what the games need, but Martial can create something with his movements, his dealing with the ball, his smartness and his finishing.”

      Marcus Rashford opened the scoring after six minutes but on-loan Leicester striker Ayoze Perez equalised just after the half hour mark.
      But the leveller was controversial as Perez’s team-mate Juanmi appeared to handle the ball in the lead up to the goal.

      VAR did not intervene as it was deemed accidental because it came off the chest onto the arm.
      Further, as the handball came during the build-up and not from the actual scorer, the goal was allowed to stand.

      It left Owen Hargreaves to say: “It was still handball, wasn’t it Scholesy?”
      Scholes replied: “It was a handball. It was not accidental.”
      Hargreaves agreed: “Yeah, he actually meant it. Look where his arm goes. He almost goes to catch it with one arm.
      “Even if you were playing with your mates in a training game in a park, you would say handball.”

      Scholes then added: “If you look closely, I think it touches his arm first anyway. It’s arm on to chest. But these rules are stupid aren’t they?
      “A handball is handball. It led to a goal and it should have been disallowed.”
      United boss Erik ten Hag could breath a sigh of relief as second-half goals from Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst gave his side a healthy advantage.

      Their recent disappointments mean another season without silverware is guaranteed for England captain Kane – who has never won a major trophy.
      And with his contract up at the end of the 2023/24 season, a departure from his boyhood club seems more likely than ever.
      United have also been linked with Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen.
      But, according to Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag has prioritised Kane to reinvent his attacking line-up this summer.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Man Utd, who look set to qualify for the Champions League, are hoping to beat Bayern Munich to Spurs’ record scorer, with the Bundesliga champions also interested in signing him.
      Kane has scored 268 times in 428 appearances for Tottenham, including 20 already this season.
      He attempted to leave the club in 2021 but Spurs chief Daniel Levy blocked him from joining Manchester City.
      Now, though, the forward has more bargaining power given he is preparing to enter the final 12 months of his contract.

      United have been linked with pursuing a number of other forwards at the end of the season.
      They include Osimhen, who has netted 21 goals in 26 games this term.
      Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos and Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus are other potential acquisitions.
      In order to bring in a new attacker, Ten Hag is expected to sell Anthony Martial.
      The Frenchman, 27, has contributed just 14 goals in his last three seasons and remains incredibly injury-prone.

      Owen Hargreaves ‘amazed’ by ‘old school’ Man Utd player and says fans will want to see more of him

      by

      OWEN HARGREAVES has been left amazed by one “old school” Manchester United player after the Red Devils’ win over Real Betis. Following a tricky first-half, United pulled away from their Spanish opponents to give themselves a commanding 4-1 lead for the second-leg.

      Much of the damage had already been done by the time Facundo Pellistri came off the bench for Antony with eight minutes to go.
      He made an immediate impact off the bench which led directly to Wout Weghorst’s goal.
      Almost straight after coming on, Pellistri received the ball directly from Bruno Fernandes’ out-swinging corner.
      Despite Real Betis defenders charging towards him, the 21-year-old dribbled around the outside past two men before sending a drilled cross back in.

      Scott McTominay’s shot was blocked before Weghorst pounced on the rebound.
      That was the high point of Pellistri’s cameo performance and it left BT pundits and former United players Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves impressed.
      Asked by presenter Jules Breach why United fans don’t see him more often, Hargreaves said: “I don’t know.
      “I was amazed how quick he was. A lot of the guys, like Jadon [Sancho] and Antony, they like to dribble and slow down and come inside, but he doesn’t want any of that.

      “He just [likes] getting on the outside, old school, just sprinting past people. And it’s good to see because when he does that, the centre-forwards know when the ball is going to come in, where the other wingers take a lot of touches.
      “Scholesy’s right, that was a brilliant cameo. I think United fans would love to see more of him.”
      The Uruguayan winger signed for the club in 2020 and has been tipped as a potential star for the future.
      But he has found game time very difficult to come by this season with only four appearances in all competitions this campaign.
      Reports had suggested he could move on loan in January but Pellistri eventually stayed with the club. More

      by

      A FORMER Manchester United coach has revealed why “party animal” Anderson never succeeded at the club and how Sir Alex Ferguson “wanted to hit him with a stick”.Mick Clegg, who has also revealed how Fergie was good at boxing and that Roy Keane did not like Teddy Sheringham, was employed as a Power Development Trainer by the Red Devils.

      It was while he was working at Old Trafford that the club splashed out to sign Brazilian midfield star Anderson from Porto after he was spotted by the manager’s brother Martin Ferguson.
      He came with much promise after winning the “Golden Boy” award two years before his arrival.
      But despite winning the Premier League four times and the Champions League, the South American struggled overall to make an impact at United due to injury and fitness issues.
      He eventually returned to his homeland with Internacional in 2018.

      Now Clegg, who spent four years from 2007 working with Anderson, has provided an insight into what the issues were.
      He told The Athletic: “Anderson was one. You could never find a nicer person, he was popular with everyone but he was a lazy bleeder.
      “He always had his excuses. I used to have a stick and I said to Alex Ferguson very early on, if he carries on, I’m going to hit him with my bleeding stick.
      “Fergie couldn’t believe it. ‘Don’t you dare. He cost me a lot of money. You can’t be hitting one of my players, are you mad?’

      “Then, six weeks later, Fergie came to find me. ‘Where’s that bloody stick? Give me that stick. I want to hit him’.”
      Clegg added: “Anderson was more than capable of being an absolute stormer of a player. He just needed his head knocking. He didn’t keep fit.
      “He chose not to put in the work, so it’s hard to have too much sympathy for him. He was a party animal.”

      It comes amid a contract stand-off between Mount and the Blues.
      His existing deal is set to expire at the end of the 2023/24 season and stalling negotiations are expected to leave the club with a decision to make.
      Mount is understood to be after a significant pay rise from his current wages of around £80,000 per week.
      And he is reluctant to sign a huge long-term deal like compatriot Reece James.

      He has started just one of their last four Premier League games.
      And while it remains to be seen whether he will stay or go, rival English clubs have been put on alert by reports of a £50MILLION price tag.

      Real Madrid and Liverpool are thought to be the frontrunners to sign the Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
      Mount, who has contributed three goals and six assists this season, has emerged as an ideal fit for Ten Hag’s side.

      But in order to sign several new stars, Ten Hag is also required to offload unwanted individuals.
      They are set to include captain Harry Maguire, forward Anthony Martial and midfielder Scott McTominay. More
