Manchester United defender Luke Shaw insists Manchester City and Liverpool won't have it easy next season.

United finished 32 points behind champions City in sixth place, while Liverpool finished in second and won the Champions League.

Shaw admits it hurt to see the success of United's rivals, but ensured supporters that it was a once-off campaign.

"Last season was so hurtful for everyone. I know the fans were really hurt, but we as a team were very hurt," said Shaw.

"Last season was a massive disappointment. How other teams were doing as well – especially over the period when we had time off and there were teams winning trophies.

"They won't have it as easy as last season.

"People are probably already doubting us, but they can carry on doing that. For me and for us as a team we know what we are capable of doing and we will have a much better season than last season."
