The Red Devils are on course to secure Champions League qualification after England secured a fifth place in the competition thanks to Arsenal's win over Sporting this week.
United have climbed up to third place since Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim charge in mid-January as they aim to return to Europe’s elite competition in style.
Carrick’s side are now 13 points adrift of leaders Arsenal with a game in hand, while they are eight points off Manchester City, who have played the same number of games.
Despite this, Steve Holland spoke to the club website about ambition and how United could aim for the title next season.
"I think the language we should be using as this club is to finish as close as we possibly can to the top. I don't know how possible that is, but that has to be the challenge always: to get as close as we possibly can to the top.
"We've been speaking more to the players really about winning our matches, rather than thinking too much about what's happening below.
“But clearly given the context, to finish in the Champions League places would be a good situation for us, but I think always than that."
United are seven points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea and are close to returning to the Champions League which should generate revenue and attract more talent worthy of a title push.
