‘We're not in the 90s now’ – Solskjaer admits Man Utd have to rebuild fear factor

The Red Devils boss formed part of a squad in his playing days that swept aside all before them, but that is no longer the case at Old Trafford

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Manchester United’s class of 2019-20 has lost some of the fear factor that he once helped to build, with the Red Devils boss pointing out that “we’re not in the 90s now”.

Leading up to the turn of the century, those at Old Trafford were a force to be reckoned with at home and abroad.

An iconic side under Sir Alex Ferguson peaked in 1999 when securing an historic treble, with Solskjaer netting the winner in a famous Champions League final win over Bayern Munich.
