David Moyes has stated that a club of Manchester United’s pedigree, must aim to win the Champions League this season.
The Red Devils defeated Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, to secure top spot in Group A, thanks to a 67th minute goal from Phil Jones.
The United boss is now looking to go as far as winning the trophy.
“A club like Manchester United has to be trying to win the trophy, that’s their job,” the Scot told ITV. “You have to get better as the tournament goes on. It’s a tough competition, a hard one, but we will take it one game at a time.
“As a club we could be considered one of the favourites, but as a team we have to improve if we are going to keep progressing. Hopefully we have given ourselves the best chance by winning the group.
“We wanted to top the group and we have. The win helps us, improves our form. We didn’t play well for 30 minutes and they [Shakhtar] had two or three opportunities.
“In the first half they had the better chances. In the second half it was much better. A loss would have been disappointing. I was tough with them [United's players] at half-time but we needed to be. We need to win games.”
