Michael Carrick heads to the Champions League final believing that Manchester United have firmly proved they are the best team in the Premier League.
United face Chelsea in Moscow next week brimming with confidence after securing their 17th league title last weekend.
And midfielder Carrick believes that sheer determination to prove critics wrong has taken the Old Trafford club to the brink of a remarkable double.
The England international told MUTV: "At the start of the campaign we wanted to prove that the previous season's title was not a one-off, we really were the best team.
"But the season was not as straightforward as the previous one. We did not start in particularly great form, we were behind Arsenal and people were saying it was over.
"So to come out on top is very satisfying, we really earned it this time around. To win the league and be in the final of the Champions League, that is what this club is all about."
He added: "The key to our success has been determination, and the discipline within the squad.
"The boss made some signings last summer that really strengthened the squad as a whole and that has proved the case in recent months when everyone has played their part in a massive way.
