Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag feels they'll be genuine title contenders next season.
Ten Hag has impressed in his first season, winning the Carabao Cup and putting United on course for a top-four finish after ending last term in sixth place.
They last won the title in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season in 2012-13.
Ten Hag said: We have made good progress but there is still a gap. I couldn't expect we would make that gap up quickly.
But we want to win every game, no matter the opponent.
All the games you see until now, we try to win every game.
We've beaten all the top teams, we are capable of doing it, but we have to make the next step to be more consistent. But we know we can do it."
United landed 13 top-flight titles under Sir Alex and Ten Hag believes English football's top prize has never been so tough to win.
He added: You see the competition and I also heard comments from other players and managers that the Premier League was never as difficult as now.
There are so many competitors. It's not a two-horse race, it's a five, six, seven-horse race you have to be very good if you want to win the league.
They spend money, they have great managers and players. But we have beaten all the teams in the Premier League."
