Ray Parlour is of the opinion that Manchester United players should apologies to their fans for the way they played under Jose Mourinho who was sacked last week, adding that they should offer to pay back their ticket funds. Parlour is convinced United’s star-studded squad were deliberately playing below their best in a bid to get Jose Mourinho sacked and their 5-1 win over Cardiff under new boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer proved they had downed tools.
And he wants them to publicly acknowledge their failings and apologise to the fan base. Asked if the players were trying to push Mourinho out of the club, Parlour replied: ‘Oh absolutely, without a doubt.

“You don’t always like your manager but they should play for personal pride.”
“The players owe the fans an apology!”
Did #MUFC‘s win at Cardiff prove the players were trying to push Mourinho out?
Al, Ray and @MarkSmithComedy think so…
‘They did exactly the same at Chelsea. ‘The players have let the supporters down, really. ‘You don’t always like your manager but you put a performance in for personal pride, plus the supporters who are the main people you’re playing for. ‘They should pay half their money back, give the supporters’ their money back for the first half of the season.’
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for United, Ander Herrera doubled their lead with Anthony Martial restoring their two-goal advantage after Victor Camarasa gave the home side hope converting a penalty. Jesse Lingard made the game safe from the penalty spot after he was brought down just after the break. The England international got his second and United’s fifth in injury time to make it a memorable return to the club for Solskjaer.
