Paul Parker fears Manchester United are still being held back by the ‘disgusting’ decision to sell David de Gea.
The club’s long-serving No.1 was discarded by Erik ten Hag two years ago with Andre Onana recruited as his replacement.
After a string of high-profile errors, Onana has been shipped out on loan to Trabzonspor for the rest of the season.
Ten Hag’s successor, Amorim, has been left with the unproven Altay Bayındir and summer signing Senne Lammens to choose from.
Former United defender Parker, who played much of his United career in front of the legendary Peter Schmeichel, cannot comprehend the level of United’s current crop of goalkeepers.

He told MyBettingSites.co.uk: ‘It’s disgusting that United let David de Gea go. The reason de Gea left is because ten Hag came in and brought in Onana from his old club and ironically his son is the agent of that player.
‘It was a strange one. Everyone wanted keepers that were good with their feet including United. They spoke about what he couldn’t do but everyone knows what he could and can do.
‘United are missing him now. He was the best keeper in the league for quite a few seasons. He made incredible saves and got rid of him when he was still at a top level.
‘United brought in Onana but didn’t have the personnel to play out from the back. They weren’t equipped for it. Onana is good with his hands, his decision making is poor and his goalkeeping technique is poor.
‘United have gone backwards. United have two goalkeepers in Onana and Bayindir who should be Dracula because they can’t deal with crosses. It’s a big, big problem.’
Lammens, meanwhile, is pushing for his first Premier League start ahead of Saturday night’s game against Chelsea and his new teammate Harry Maguire has been impressed with what he has seen in training.
He said: ‘He [Lammens] really impressed me in training. He has all the qualities to be a top-level goalkeeper. He’s excellent with his feet, he has great presence and he’s really good at stopping shots.
‘Again, he’s a young player. He’s coming to a big club where the pressure is high, but I know he’ll cope with it and I’m sure he’ll have a long future at this club.’
