Manchester United No2 Mike Phelan has declared the current squad has the potential to dominate Europe.

United are the form team of the Premier League under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, winning seven and drawing one of his eight games in charge, as well as triumphing in two FA Cup ties.

“Our aim is to try and do even better, to try and push the players even further," said Phelan, ahead of United's lunchtime clash at Fulham tomorrow.

“I've experienced a lot of things at Manchester United and I want this next generation of players to do the same.

“They've won some things, but they haven't won everything – and I want them to win everything. Why shouldn't we?

“You've got to be greedy in this game and to keep pushing. What they're here for, surely, is to be better players, better individuals and to win something for the club and themselves.

“Players are talented here because they're here for a reason. It's then up to them to embrace Manchester United, the ethos, and everything around it. That's the reason why they're here.

“Ability shouldn't be an issue – they shouldn't get through the door if they haven't got the ability, so what is important is that we make sure we only bring in that quality and personality, that charismatic sort that can enhance what is already here. That's a major responsibility.

“Winning is there, it's got to be – the size of the football club demands that. We're trying to build something."
