Wayne Rooney believes Manchester United can challenge for the Premier League title next season if they get their recruitment right this summer.
The Red Devils captured the final Champions League place last season after a stuttering start to the campaign but were never in title contention and finished 17 points behind champions Chelsea.
Louis van Gaal's recruitment drive for next term has already begun with the acquisition of Memphis Depay and Rooney is confident that United can compete at the very top with the right additions to the squad.
"I honestly believe we will go far next year and won't be far off challenging for the league," he said on his website.
"If you look at the first 10 to 11 games we only had around 13 points, and if you look at where we finished I think it shows we could have been up there with a better start.
"We've dominated and outplayed most teams this season but haven't taken our chances to win those games, it could have been a different story if we had.
"The most important thing is that as a squad, including the manager and myself, we believe we are close to challenging for the title and with a couple of signings in the summer we will have a good chance of doing that.
