Ander Herrera is "optimistic" for Manchester United following the signing of Bruno Fernandes in the January transfer window.
The Red Devils splashed out £47million rising to £67m on the Portugal international, but it's been money well spent, with Manchester United yet to lose when Fernandes has been on the pitch.
Herrera left United at the conclusion of the 2018/19 campaign, when his contract expired at Old Trafford.
The United fan-favourite signed for Paris Saint-Germain, but has kept a close eye on his former team and is positive United will start competing with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City very soon.
"I am optimistic," Herrera told ESPN. "I think they have signed some players who can bring the club back into the Premier League title race.
"Marcus [Rashford] is one of them. He has the quality and the maturity to make this step. It's still a way to fight for the title because Liverpool and Man City are really strong.
"But I think they are on the way and have signed some players who can give a lot for the club.
"With Bruno Fernandes, a player I really like, and other players who are adaptable to the league, I think United can do great things. But the other teams are also doing great things like Liverpool, [Manchester] City and Tottenham."
