Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has hit out at YouTuber Mark Goldbridge for causing ‘problems’ at Manchester United.
He claims Goldbridge, who is best known for his videos and livestreams on the Manchester United-based fan channel, has been berating the club online.
He believes Goldbridge has been ‘attacking the club, the manager and the owners of a football club that he doesn’t even love’ given he ‘is a Nottingham Forest fan’.
As a result, Parker feels sorry for United – who have made their worst start to a season since 1986 after losing 3-2 to Galatasaray in the Champions League.
The Red Devils will be looking to turn their fortunes around when they face rock-bottom Sheffield United on Saturday night.

Speaking about the situation regarding Goldbridge and United, Parker told BonusCodeBets: ‘I don’t like what Mark Goldbridge is doing.
‘It’s a problem. Everyone has to make a living but you have to be very, very thick skinned to make money off the back of something you don’t like.
‘He has no relationship to Man United, he is a Nottingham Forest fan. It’s an incredible skill to do that, actually… To make money on the back of something you don’t like.
‘He is attacking the club, the manager and the owners of a football club that you don’t even love. He has no inner feeling with the club and it’s a scary but incredible feeling to have to be that invested in a club that you don’t support.
‘But that’s also what Man United are about. It’s a club with a massive story and it’s a story that everyone tries to tap into and be a part of. A lot of people are making money because of Man United but it’s madness. One, they don’t support Man United and to be honest, two, they don’t even like football.
‘But it’s a club that everyone wants to talk about and somehow it’s possible to make money from it despite not having a relationship to the club.’
Parker added: ‘Leaks are a massive problem at Man United, however they are not the only club who experiences that. I can assure you 100 per cent that it never comes directly from a player. But some of the players are maybe frustrated and they will tell their best mate about something that happens in the club and then the friend can’t keep his mouth shut.
‘We can always come after the players for snitching on the club to their best friends, but we are all human. We’ve all been frustrated about something at work and then we have told our wife something, who tells it to her mom who tells it to her friend.
‘The difference is, that in football it will come out in public and it will hurt the club that you are playing for, so it is a massive problem.
‘In the end, I see it more as a society problem because everyone wants to play a journalist, so a friend of a player would create this account to write something about Man United just to get some clout and recognition.
‘It’s the same in politics and I don’t know how we should deal with it but I just hope that people one day will realise that followers are worth absolutely nothing once you’re old and want to get visits from real friends.’
