Paul Merson has insisted that opposition teams no longer fear coming up against Manchester United.

The former Arsenal midfielder made the claim on Sky Sports News following United's 3-0 defeat at the hands of rivals Liverpool in the Premier League earlier today.

"There are ways of getting beaten and that was a turning over. It could have been four, five or six. They look lost as a team. Nobody is scared of them anymore," he said.

The Red Devils have lost half of their 14 matches in 2014.
