Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says the Red Devils desperately needed to add players to their squad last summer.
United ended last season in a disappointing seventh place but were quick to act in the summer transfer window with the signings of Luke Shaw, Angel di Maria, Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind, Radamel Falcao and Ander Herrera.
And according to the 72-year-old, all players will be pivotal to the success of the club.
"When you can identify ability like that [Angel di Maria] for Manchester United, they have the resources to do that - fees I never quite equalled but they needed a big injection this year," Ferguson told MUTV.
"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."
