Manchester United legend Paul Parker is not happy with current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Parker is miffed at a comment from Solskjaer where the Norwegian said his team was not in the Premier League title race.
The former Red Devils defender, who won four trophies at the club in the 1990s, believes such comments could dent the players' confidence.
He said, per The Sun: "Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saying that Manchester United were not in the title race was a silly comment to make.
"Regardless of what team it is, if you are sitting second in the table, and only a few points behind the leader, you must believe you're in the title race.
"Even if Manchester United don't have staying power, or the squad, you should never admit your shortcomings to opponents that might be listening.
"Manchester United have got to enjoy the position they find themselves in, but you simply can't just say they're not in the hunt for the title.
"You have got to keep players as positive as you can and tell them they can win the Premier League.
"Some of those players with their egos will be thinking that they will win things at Manchester United, if a manager does not believe it is the case, how is a player ever going to?
"Instead of taking the pressure off people, he is adding it. I find it very strange that he would say something like that after drawing at home to Everton who has one of the best away records in the Premier League.
"Manchester United have got to be positive, so there's no way he should be saying they're not in the race, they were top of the league two weeks ago."
