Jamie Redknapp: 'Manchester United are close to being feared again'

Jamie Redknapp feels that Manchester United's attacking play is getting close to becoming fearful once again after an inconsistent start under Louis van Gaal.

Jamie Redknapp believes that Manchester United are slowly become a feared side again under Louis van Gaal.

The Red Devils have taken just 12 points from their opening eight matches of the season, and despite their defensive struggles, Redknapp feels that there were a lot of positive signs to take from their attacking play in their 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion.

The former Liverpool and England midfielder told Sky Sports News: "Under Louis van Gaal, though, it feels like United are getting closer to being a side to be feared again.

"There were signs against West Brom, especially when they got back to 1-1, that they were controlling the game and there was some great attacking play. Mistakes at the back are still costing them but they are taking steps forward."

United face table-topping Chelsea in their Premier League clash later today.
