The striker insists a strong European
campaign is always a priority and
believes David Moyes' side can go
far in the competition with his sights
set on the final.
Wayne Rooney claims winning one
Champions League title "is never enough"
and believes Manchester United possess
the quality to go far in the competition
this season.
David Moyes’ side face Olympiakos in
Greece in the first leg of their round-of-16
tie on Tuesday evening.
Rooney won his only Champions League
medal to date after beating Chelsea in the
2008 final and the 28-year-old maintains
his focus has always been on a
successful campaign in Europe.
"You always want to win," Rooney told
reporters.
"One is never enough, especially at this
club. You have to keep trying to get into
those finals. The feeling you get when you
win the trophy is incredible.
"There's no way you want to stop at one.
You want to win every year. That's
impossible, but if we can get to the final
that will be great. It's an opportunity to
win another trophy. Hopefully we can do
that."
United topped topped Group A ahead of
Real Sociedad, Shakhtar Donetsk and
Bayer Leverkusen and Rooney feels
achieving a positive result should be his
side’s main focus in Athens.
"I think we have the quality to go really
far," said the forward.
"The main aim is to get the right result on
Tuesday and then take each game as it
comes. The year Chelsea won it they
nearly went out about three times.
"You just have to keep going, whether or
not we get the right result or not.
We're
looking to get the victory and then
progress to the quarter-finals."
