United completed their task of winning back the FA Cup from Arsenal on Saturday when they beat Millwall 3-0 in the Final.

United had already beaten holders Arsenal in the semi-final, of course and now O’Shea insists the gap between the sides is minimal.

He said: "The aim at the start of the season was to retain our title and win the Champions League.

"We failed there but we have ended the season on a high and we’re just forgetting about this season now and concentrating on the next one. Arsenal have got a great record and we have to chase that and try and achieve that.

"But when we played Arsenal we showed there’s not a lot between the two sides. We just have to concentrate on ourselves.

"We let ourselves down against the lower teams in the table and we have to make sure we win those matches next season.

"If we play to our potential there’s no problem. We showed against Arsenal that they aren’t a better team than us. We have to make sure we have the consistency.

"But winning The FA Cup was a great way to end our season."
