Ryan Giggs is confident Manchester United can dominate England as well as Europe for years to come.
The 11-time Premier League winner told manutd.com that the current United squad is young enough to continue winning trophies at home and abroad.
"Everything is in place," he said on Wednesday. "The age of the team is relatively young if you take out me, Nev, Scholesy and Edwin.
"We've proved this season that we can get to the final again, and hopefully that gives us the confidence to carry on and dominate. That's what we've done in our own league and we want to do that in Europe. We've got everything in place to do that."
United will take on Spanish champions Barcelona in the Champions League final as they look to be the first team to retain Europe's top crown. Giggs also believes there could be no better opponents than the Catalan giants.
"This match determines the best club in Europe this season," he said. "It's the two best teams in England and Spain, and also from performances in the Champions League.
"It's the dream final, two fantastic, massive clubs who play football the right way. Everyone's looking forward to it, including the players."
Giggs has also paid tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson who has engineered a hungry group of winners.
"We had the players to get to a Champions League final then," Giggs adds. "But the likes of Wayne [Rooney] and Cristiano [Ronaldo] had just come to the club. They hadn't matured into the world class players they are now.
"With the players the manager has brought in, we've just got better and better since. From the first trophy this team won - the League Cup where we beat Wigan - we've gone from strength to strength.
"I just put my trust in the manager. He's won so much. At that time we were saying the team was evolving and we were trying to get the age of the team down. That takes time. We probably did it quicker than we thought we would."
