Swansea have earned numerous plaudits for playing an exciting brand of pass-and-move football, and they recently won their first ever major trophy after they lifted the Capital One Cup.
In particular, Michu, who joined Swansea in the summer, has caught the eye with a series of prolific displays up front. The 26-year-old has scored a respectable 15 goals in 28 Premier League games and recently signed a new four-year contract with the club.
And Ferguson, who admits he enjoys watching Swansea play, believes that the Spaniard has been one of the best signings this season.
"The boy Michu has been a revelation," Ferguson was quoted as saying by the official United website.
"To sign him for just £2million 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."
Swansea will take on Tottenham Hotspur in their next Premier League fixture.
