Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is impressed by their summer market work.
The Reds responded to a poor first season after Ferguson's retirement by bringing in Louis van Gaal and underneath him the likes of Daley Blind, Angel di Maria, Radamel Falcao, Ander Herrera, Marcus Rojo andLuke Shaw.
Referring to the £59million capture of Di Maria from Real Madrid, he told MUTV: "When you can identify ability like that for Manchester United, they have the resources to do that - fees I never quite equalled but they needed a big injection this year."
On the other signings he added: "Herrera played against us three years ago for Bilbao, he's a talented young player and we scouted him quite a lot. He's quite aggressive for a lad who's not got a great frame.
"I watched Rojo at the World Cup and thought he did well. He's capable of playing left side or centre back.
"Luke Shaw we tried to get when he was 16. They (Southampton) wouldn't sell him but they always said we'd be the first to know if he did. He's a talented boy, good footballer and likes to get forward.
"Daley Blind is a common-sense footballer, a version of Darren Fletcher a few years ago. And Falcao is the one we're all waiting to see, he's got fantastic goalscoring ability."
