Manchester United Double winner Paul Parker says his old club should focus everything on the Europa League.

Parker believes the club must target Europa League glory this season as a route into next term's Champions League.

United have already secured qualification to the knockout stages of the competition.

Parker told Gambling.com: “Winning the Europa League is the only way United will get back into the Champions League next season.

“I'd like to see them improve the squad in January but, realistically, there are far better sides than Manchester United in the Premier League and that's not going to change much in one transfer window."
