Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits his squad must jump to a new level next season.
Ten Hag says the Premier League will be even more competitive for the new campaign.
"We have to raise the bar but to do that is necessary because the competition is very strong," Ten Hag said ahead of United's final United States friendly against Borussia Dortmund.
"We have many competitors to battle for the top four positions in the Premier League so it is going to be a huge battle.
"It's not between two or three clubs, it's between seven, eight or nine who can all finish in the top four. It's going to be a really exciting league I'm sure."
