He said: “We feel we are on par with them already, it’s just the way the games have gone. Although we have played to the best of our ability we have just lost games we shouldn’t have done at the end of the day. But we feel we are on par with the likes of Chelsea and United.
“Obviously we have to do our best for the remainder of this season then we will look forward to building for next year.
“All the players are full of confidence about next season and will be looking to win everything in Europe and in our domestic competitions.”
