Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo sees no reason why Sir Alex Ferguson's side cannot clinch a Premier League and Champions League double this season.

United have won their last eight games in the Premier League and are currently second in the table while they are well-placed to move into the group stages of the Champions League.

United won an unprecedented treble in 1999 and Ronaldo is confident the current team can come close to matching those achievements.

"I believe we'll win the Premier League and Champions League this season," the Portugal international told The Sun.

"We have the team, we have the players and we believe we can do it. There's a good chance we will.

"All the players feel good, feel sharp, feel quick and they are showing on the pitch their desire to play for Manchester United.

"In the last three or four games we have scored many goals and we are more confident now.

"Arsenal are very strong and are playing fantastic, attractive football.

"It will be a big game for us (on Saturday) but it's a good opportunity to see how good we are.

"Arsenal have started well but the season is a marathon - you have to be consistent."
