London, Nov.5 Florent Malouda says Manchester United will be running scared of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, who is in the form of his life, having scored nine goals in as many games and 12 in total this season after his impressive double against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

Malouda is adamant that any side in the world would fear Drogba at the moment - including United, who visit Stamford Bridge this Sunday.

"Didier has always been a leader, always speaking in the dressing room and bringing all the team behind him," said Malouda.

"The fact that he did a good pre-season without any injuries is important. He is really happy. He is enjoying his form because he is training very hard, harder than ever," The Sun quoted Malouda, as saying further. "He has always believed in himself. Even when he was playing in the second division in France he was dreaming about that and preparing himself, so that is why I am not surprised. He is full of confidence now and we can see in every game he tries everything. It is a good plus at the moment for us at the club," Malouda said. (ANI)
