​Heskey: Man Utd no longer scare teams

Published on: 31 May 2017

Liverpool legend Emile Heskey does not believe that Manchester United have the fear factor anymore.

While United may have won three trophies last season, they endured a terrible Premier League campaign and could manage only a 6th place position in the standings.

Ex-Liverpoool striker Emile Heskey was not left impressed with United's performances under Jose Mourinho and believes that teams are no longer scared of facing the Red Devils following their fall from grace in recent seasons.

Heskey said: "They came sixth in the Premier League. Is that successful? It's not really successful. Winning the Europa League is a success, but in the league? No. I'm guessing they would have mixed feelings.

"It's not the United that I played against, who were dominating and scaring teams. They don't have that threat any more. When you went to Old Trafford, you feared what was going to happen. Now, people don't care. So they need to get that fear factor back."
