Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes that Manchester United are close to becoming a feared side again under Louis van Gaal.
Dutch boss Van Gaal has not had the most successful of starts at United since he took over from David Moyes this summer, taking just 12 points from their opening eight matches of the season, however, Redknapp believes that United are close to returning to their best.
He 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 leaders Chelsea in their Premier League on Sunday.
