Yorke: Man Utd now title contenders after buying spree

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke believes their buying spree could bring the title to Old Trafford.

Yorke rates the new-look squad as genuine contenders.

"With the team the manager is building, I believe it is good enough to go and win the Premier League," the former United striker told Sky Sports News HQ.

"They are playing catch-up at this moment and they need to start getting results now, but if they can do that the confidence will generate and when that builds up you've seen what they've done in the past. There is no doubt in my mind Manchester United could go on to win the league from here.

"I know a lot of people will be questioning that, saying the new players need time to bed in, but these players are world-class players, not just players trying to fit into the football club. These players are that good that it's easy to fit into the system of Van Gaal.

"The players Man United now have at their disposal will send alarm bells ringing in the Premier League."
