It is 13 years since United last lifted the title, in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season in charge. The team finished 15th last season but victory against Liverpool on Sunday will secure the return of Champions League football to Old Trafford. And Mount, 27, already has one eye on the next campaign - and feels ending that 13-year title drought should be the aim.

"I've won the Champions League already, so I have a goal of winning the Premier League," he said. "Can we do that? Yes, I think we can.

"It may seem a little bit far away, but you must have that mentality to really push yourself as a group. "We've shown what we can do against the big teams already; Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, so we've done it. "Now it's about doing it on a bigger stage in the Champions League and doing it more consistently in the Premier League.

"Hopefully, I will be a massive part of that moving forward next season. It's a goal: I want to win the Premier League. " There has been chatter over Mount's position at Old Trafford.
