Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Swansea City have been the standout Premier League team this season.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Swansea City have been the team of the year for the 2012-13 campaign.

The prolific Scottish boss, who witnessed his side draw 1-1 with the Swans back in December, believes that special credit should go to summer signing Michu.

The Spaniard was picked up by manager Michael Laudrup from Rayo Vallecano for around £2m.

"Swansea have been terrific," Ferguson told Inside United. "The boy Michu has been a revelation. To sign him for just £2m and get 20 goals out of him - what a bargain!

"I wouldn't say Swansea have been the surprise package but they've really lifted their performances. They were a newly-promoted side last year and managed to survive in the top flight. This season, they've kicked on to another level and become a good middle-to-top side.

"They also won the League Cup of course and they play really good football. I'd say they're the team of the year with Michu a real bargain buy."

Meanwhile, United sit 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
