BBC: "I've won the Champions League already, so I have a goal of winning the Premier League. 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."
Recently we've seen Bruno reportedly waiting to see what the club do in the market before committing to next season as he wants a viable chance to win a major trophy. We've seen Maguire talk about major reinforcements in the summer after signing his contract. And obviously Berrada has that project 2028 or whatever it's called.
This all suggests that either there is collective delusion at the club or we're going to see major investment in top quality this summer.

"He's been brilliant for me," he said of Carrick.
"As a midfielder, I looked up to him when he played. He was an absolute maestro which is something I've always looked to do.
"It was difficult at the beginning because Michael came in and I got injured, so I missed a few games.
"But he said: 'I want you back, you're a massive part of the team and when you're around the lads you obviously have a big effect', so I know where I stand within the group.
"It's not my call but I really like the way he works; the way he sees the game.
"He's very level-headed. Very calm, very knowledgeable about the game.
"He knows what he wants going into games. He will do his analysis on the opposition and talk us through it on the pitch.
"We're in a really good place. You can see that from the way we play and how we've performed since he's been in.
"Even in big games where we've probably written off a little bit, we've come up with massive performances that have really kicked us on."
Mount may only have watched Carrick from a distance before but he knew all about his assistant Steve Holland from working with him at Chelsea and England.
In a coaching team relatively light on experience, Holland seems to be the glue that keeps it together.
Mount is a huge fan, and recalls a story from the early days of Carrick's reign - his first two matches were against Manchester City and Arsenal - as an example of what the 55-year-old brings.
"He's got such a football brain," he said.
"If he sees something, he'll know what to say, and he's not afraid to say it.
"In either the first or second game after they took charge, he was taking a team talk and saying: 'Look we're going to win – we're going to win this game.' That was the confidence from day one.
"There's probably not many in world football that have his resume and his experience, is there?
"Maybe he goes under the radar a little bit but he is very tactically astute.
"He's always there to give the gaffer a few tips on positionings or if he sees something that needs to get changed, he will say it.
"They're always talking, which is super important.
"The last game, I'm on the bench and the gaffer will come back and speak to Steve and get his opinion on things.
"It's been very clear. Everyone knows what they're needed to do."
