Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs 'more experience and stature' on his coaching staff to rescue his faltering Manchester United reign, insists Old Trafford hero Paul Parker

Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has called on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to recruit more experienced coaches in order to turn around his flagging Old Trafford tenure.

Solskjaer currently has Mike Phelan, a former assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson, as his No 2 at United but also has young coaches on his ranks such as Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.

Parker believes a more experienced set of hands would help the United squad, as well as Solskjaer himself, after a difficult start to the Premier League season.
