Wayne Rooney: One Champions League title is never enough

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.

Rooney losing hope of title:

The Red Devils forward accepts that retaining their Premier League crown looks out of their reach and wants to focus on the battle for a place in the Champions League.


Wayne Rooney admits that Manchester United must do better if they are to rescue their season and qualify for the Champions League.

The Red Devils' defeat to Stoke City on February 1 was their eighth of the Premier League campaign under David Moyes and left them seventh in the table, 15 points behind Arsenal.
The defending champions only lost five league games in the whole of last season and Rooney confesses that hopes of retaining their title are remote.
