Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes Celtic midfielder Aaron Mooy could stay at the club for the "rest of his career".

The ex-England full-back rates the 32-year-old highly and also feels that he is still good enough to play in the Premier League.

But he reckons Mooy is settled in Glasgow and that lure of winning league titles will keep him at Parkhead for the foreseeable future.

Parker told Danish outlet SpilXperten: "Aaron Mooy was amazing at Huddersfield. His football education is very good because he has played in Europe for a lot of years.

"And I think he learned a lot at Man City even though he was a PR-signing for them just like when clubs are signing players from America.

“Now he has been absolutely amazing for Celtic, which is a very big club. Really, I have a massive respect for that club.

"I love the fans and the atmosphere and a lot of players would do everything to play there.

"Because of that, I could see him stay at Celtic for the rest of his career. He must really enjoy being there and performing so well.

"He has the ability to play in the Premier League. Maybe not for one of the big six clubs but he is definitely good enough to play for a good club that is competing for top 10 in the Premier League.”

"But for Celtic he can win championships, play in the Champions League and do what a lot of people are dreaming about. But I would love to see him back in the Premier League.”
