Paul Parker says Manchester United must replace Luke Shaw

Paul Parker has advised Manchester United to find a replacement for Luke Shaw before the new Premier League season begins. The former defender believes the current left-back is not of a high enough standard to compete for the club.

Parker suggested that the squad requires a different profile of player at the left-back position. He stated that the club needs a fullback who possesses agility and mobility to perform effectively during matches.

According to Parker, a new signing should be able to contribute to both ends of the pitch. He argued that the team needs a player capable of handling defensive duties while also being able to support the attacking transitions.

In his assessment of Shaw's current capabilities, Parker claimed the player is unable to run effectively. He further stated that Shaw lacks the necessary skills to defend properly or to contribute to the team's attacking efforts. Parker questioned the utility of keeping the player in the squad if he cannot perform these essential roles.

Shaw has been a member of the Manchester United squad since 2014, when he arrived from Southampton. His current contract with the club is scheduled to expire next year.
