Jesse Lingard says Manchester United did not meet their preseason targets to win the Premier League title or finish inside the top four but he believes their form this season showed they "we're capable of anything."

United eventually finished sixth -- 24 points behind champions Chelsea -- but in winning the EFL Cup and Europa League they have ended the season with two pieces of silverware and ensured Champions League qualification.

"I think finishing inside the top four and winning the league was our ambition at the start of the season," he told the club's official website. "We know we've got the players capable of winning the league but it didn't happen -- we've had to play through the Europa League to get to the Champions League.

"Individually, we could have done better and as a team we could have done better, but football is all about learning and you're always going to learn with every game. We'll take this experience into next season."

Although United drew a Premier League-high 15 games they were only beaten on five occasions, the joint-second best record in the division, and Lingard says the ability not to lose can serve them well.

"It shows we're capable of anything," he said. "If we'd managed to convert those draws at home into wins we'd have been up there with Chelsea and Tottenham, so it's all there for us, but it's just about doing it on matchday ...

"There have been a lot of positives this season; the manager has got us well drilled and if we take that into next season with more goals and turning draws into wins, I don't see why we can't be challenging for the title."
