Newcastle will never sign you – Paul Parker slams Man Utd midfielder

Former Manchester United defender, Paul Parker has slammed Scott McTominay and his agent, accusing them of fabricating transfer news.

There have been stories of the Scottish midfielder leaving Old Trafford this winter transfer window, with Newcastle said to be his destination.

The midfielder has struggled for playing time since the arrival of manager Erik ten Hag this season.

He has fallen behind Casemiro, Fred and Christian Eriksen in the Old Trafford pecking order.

The Red Devils are said to be blocking the midfielder from joining their rivals but Parker believes such stories are cooked up, insisting that Newcastle would have nothing to do with a player like McTominay.

He told Apostagolos: “I read some stupid rumors about McTominay moving to Newcastle, which I think is a lie.

“This story was invented by his agent, who is a liar. Newcastle would never want McTominay.

“He wouldn’t be a boost to their midfield, they need better players. They already have Sean Longstaff who is a bit like McTominay and they don’t need more players with that kind of skill.”
