Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has admitted that he would "definitely" like to win the Europa League.

The Red Devils have entered the competition following their Champions League group stage elimination earlier this month.

When asked if he would like to win the tournament, the 26-year-old told his club's official website: "Definitely. It's a shame we're out of the Champions League. That's what we all want to play in. Unfortunately we went out and now we turn our attention to the Premier League and Europa League. I don't think the manager's won the Europa League, so I'm sure he'll want to win it.

"Every competition we enter we want to win. There are some good teams but we have to believe, keep working and hopefully we can go on and win it."

United travel to Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League on Saturday.
