Ron Atkinson previews United v West Brom

Former Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson believes Saturday's clash with West Bromwich Albion will not be a formality because Tony Pulis' side will come to Old Trafford with "no fear".

Following the international break, the Reds resume the quest for a Premier League top-four spot against one of the season's surprise packages, who sit eighth in the table and have won two of their last three visits to the Theatre of Dreams.

"It will be tight; they got a result here a couple of years ago, when Saido Berahino scored," said Atkinson, who also managed the Baggies in two spells either side of his five-year stint at United between 1981 and 1986, in which he oversaw two FA Cup triumphs.
