Conte said, "Honestly, I don't know. my realistic expectation is to go game by game and to understand which is in this moment our position in the Premier League. because I'm seeming also the other teams improved a lot, signed a lot of players and the transfer market has not finished and all the teams tried to improved.

"We have to go step by step. It's very important to have seven months of work at our back, for me, for the players with me. It will be very important because I'm not starting from zero. Honestly in this moment I have a big difficulty to answer what is our realistic target. We have to try to be stronger than the past and we are working for this. Then we go game by game.

"Next week we have a game like Chelsea and with Chelsea last season I have seen a lot of difference. A different level. We played three games in 12 days and we lost three games and didn't score. They showed in these three games that they were much better than us. Realistically we have to wait before making judgement for this season.

"But to finish top four in England is always a success. If you speak with the owner (laughs) he's ready to sign every season to finish top four, especially in England because it means that with six top teams in England, if you finish top four last season then United and Arsenal missed finishing in the Champions League.

"You know Liverpool, City, Chelsea, maybe if a disaster doesn't happen they stay there. So you fight. Then you know also the strength of United, but you have seen what Arsenal are doing with Arteta in these many years to improve the team. It's not easy but I am a person who has ambition and I want to transfer the right ambition to my players with no presumption and arrogance. I only know one way to work, to continue to improve. I think that if we continue to do this we are stronger than last season."
