Former Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has been keeping a close eye on the club.
The Red Devils have improved immensely under coach Erik ten Hag since the start of the campaign.
Matic, who left in the summer for Roma, spoke about United during an interview with Sky Sports.
"I like the way he wants to play," he said.
"I like the way United are playing. They have had some ups and downs and that is normal with a new manager.
But I'm happy with how they have progressed and I think next season they will fight for the title for sure."
