A former Manchester United star has urged the club to sack manager Erik ten Hag if he selects a certain Red Devils star for their next Premier League.

The Manchester outfit have lost two of their of their opening four encounters this season, the last of which was a 3-1 loss to rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Former United defender Paul Paul is not happy with the Dutch coach picking Anthony Martial and says new signing Rasmus Hojlund must start against Brighton and Hove Albion next weekend.

"If he doesn't start against Brighton, then all fans will want Erik ten Hag fired, and it would almost be justified," Parker told Spilxperten, as per Express.

"It wouldn't make any sense if he started on the bench.

"Martial shouldn't even be on the bench. There must be a youth player who is better who can sit on the bench, and Hojlund can be the first striker. All Manchester United fans are fed up with seeing a player with a lousy attitude, who always sulks and complains, and it's a blessing that Man Utd finally has an attacker who plays with enthusiasm

"I actually don't agree that you can't already judge Rasmus Hojlund based on the minutes he had against Arsenal. You certainly can because he made a huge difference when he was substituted in.

"It was the best thing that could happen to him, that he had to replace Martial because he knew he couldn't do worse than him. When he came on the pitch, he used his physique and pushed Gabriel, almost sending him flying out of Emirates. Martial has never done that. He just lies down on the ground and cries.

"He ran deep with his tremendous speed, something Martial has never done either. Martial is like a greyhound because a greyhound never runs past the hare, and that's how Martial is."
