Manchester United management is pleased with the progress of the current team.
Rio Ferdinand says Mike Phelan, who was also assistant during some of Ferdinand's time as a player at Old Trafford, agrees things are going in the right direction.
“Listen, it's improved," Ferdinand said on BT Sport.
“I was speaking to Mike Phelan, one of the coaching staff at Manchester United earlier, things are starting to click, they're starting to understand things and they've understood as a group that it wasn't going to be overnight where things are going to start working out.
"It's going to take time, implement things into the team, into individuals but they've got a run of games that are going to be testing but I think this team are turning the corner but it's a slow process.
“It's not something where you've gone 'right, immediately it's a big change and there we are, Man United are back amongst it vying for trophies.
“This is a slow burn after a few years of kind of topsy-turviness."
