Manchester United Double winner Paul Parker has slammed star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Parker feels Ibrahimovic avoids the same scrutiny of €100 million man Paul Pogba.

He told Eurosport: "Ibrahimovic has been getting a lot of good press. He has made a decent start so he is due praise.

"But when he does not score and when he fails to take a game by the scruff of the neck, he is absolved from criticism. Why is Pogba getting all the stick when Ibrahimovic is not much more convincing?

"United are quick to jump on Pogba due to his £89m transfer fee.

"But people need to remember that Zlatan – despite costing nothing – remains a marquee player. He is on substantial wages. Pogba did not determine his price. United need more from Ibrahimovic.

"Is it written in Zlatan's contract that he has to start every big game? He is 35.

"At other clubs, I doubt he would be starting every single big match.

"Why has he started every game? There is no mention of him being tired. It needs freshening up."
