ANTHONY ELANGA is the only winger at Manchester United good enough to play as a striker, says club icon Paul Parker.
Elanga, 19, is in hot form and has even drawn comparisons to Thierry Henry.
And the 57-year old former full-back claims that team-mates Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho aren't 'good enough' to play up top.
He told bettingexpert: "I think Elanga is the only one you can play as a striker or false nine.
"It does need a change. I'm trying to think of someone but Elanga out of all the wide players is the one who's done really well.
"The other two, Sancho and Rashford, just haven't been good enough so far.
"We've seen already, they haven't got a focal point, they haven't got a centre-forward."
The ex-England defender also warned that the Red Devils shouldn't tinker with the 19-year-old's position whilst things are working out.

"You don't want to put too much on his shoulders, he's still trying to build a career.
"You try not to put him in the limelight too much – 'he's gonna be the next this, he's gonna be the next that' – for all of a sudden, for too much going and it all falls apart, before he's even evolved.
"A bit like what's happened to Rashford.
"Elanga, you don't want to put the onus on him, you don't want his game to collapse cause all of a sudden he's out of position and if it isn't going right, he might think 'oh, I'm better off out wide, I was playing good out there.'"
Neither Sancho and Rashford started in the drab 0-0 draw with relegation-threatened Watford last weekend, but both came off the bench.
