The former City striker, who famously robbed Gary Neville of possession in 2002 before scoring a derby goal, says teams no longer fear going to United as they used to under Sir Alex Ferguson, and he is confident Pep Guardiolas men will be the dominant side at the Theatre of Dreams.The stats support his view: Manchester City have lost just once in past seven visits to their biggest rivals. I dont think teams fear going to Old Trafford anymore, Goater said on Wednesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.Going to Old Trafford before, you were just happy to come away with a draw if you could. They were so dominant in Sir Alex Fergusons time.You were pelted with chances, you had to defend and youd end up walking away saying: We got away with one there, we only lost 4-1!But now, we have seen teams go there and dominate and you just think, why are these teams dominating Man United at Man United?And its not right just to put it down to Jose Mourinhos time. It makes you think, is this just Man United now?
