Manchester United chief executive Peter Kenyon has heaped the pressure on Sir Alex Ferguson and his team, claiming another trophyless season would be unacceptable.
United have already failed in two competitions - losing Sunday's Worthington Cup final 2-0 to Liverpool and tumbling out of the FA Cup at the hands of Arsenal - but are still competing on two fronts.
The Red Devils are second in the Premiership, eight points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand, and have already reached the last eight of the UEFA Champions League with two group matches remaining.
But Kenyon warned: 'By our standards, it would not be good enough to finish runners-up in the Premiership and Worthington Cup and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
'We have a quality in our team that is second to none and the desire to win things is great,' he told BBC Radio Five.
'We came out of last season pretty disappointed that we didn't win any silverware.
'At the moment we're second in the Premiership and through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
'We have to be pretty satisfied with that, but we still believe we have everything to go for. There is a huge hunger to win here and we have the best manager in club football.'
