Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic believes his former club are now on the road to recovery and praised the new talent bursting through at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have had an inconsistent run of form this season and are currently occupying fifth spot in the Premier League table; they are a point behind fourth placed Manchester City and are fighting for a spot in the top four.




With the club's young talent in the form of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, among others, making a name for themselves under Louis van Gaal, the future is bright in Vidic's view.

And Vidic, who himself won major trophies with the side during his time at Old Trafford with a career spanning over 300 appearances, feels that though the club are going through a major change, the young players will pave the way for an improved future.
 


"United are going through a transition but we hope there are good signs with the young players who have come through the Academy. It could be the start of a new era for Manchester United”, the Serbian international told Manchester United’s website.

"We see Jesse Lingard, [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford – they’re players with ability, energy, speed and determination to work hard and that’s what Manchester United has always been about in recent years.

"I believe that new players who come to the club like Martial have adapted to this kind of mentality and with his ability he can be important for us”, the 34-year-old former defender added.
