Buoyant Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has urged Manchester United not to rest on their laurels after their dominant win over Manchester City.
The Norwegian was in fine spirits after he watched his side defeat their great rivals 2-0 thanks to goals from Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay.
And Solskjaer has delivered a transfer call to arms to to Ed Woodward and the United hierarchy ahead of a pivotal summer transfer window.
United are pushing for a Champions League berth but remain three points outside the top four with nine Premier League games remaining.
And a place at Europe's top table could boost their transfer kitty further with the likes of Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho and Lyon's Moussa Dembele high on their wishlist.
He said: “We feel we are improving all the time. We know we lack one or two, three players, and some experience, to be considered a title contender.
“But we are not going to start talking about that now. We are just going to start talking about going up the table, getting more points, to that top four.
“Chelsea and Leicester are still too far ahead for my liking still.
“For me it shows we are on the right track and we’re improving and we are Man Utd. We are looking towards catching the teams in front of us.
“But this is one game. Now it is on to Thursday and Sunday, two big games for us.”
Solskjaer's position ahead of boardoom talks is further strengthened by the success of his recent signings.
Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James and January arrival Bruno Fernandes have all made telling contributions with the Red Devils undefeated in their last 10 matches in all competitions.
