Man Utd to look ahead to trophies after achieving this season's goal - Rooney

Wayne Rooney insists next season is the time for Manchester United to go after silverware.

The Red Devils were able to get things back on track this campaign by returning to the Champions League with a top-four finish and now that has been achieved, captain Rooney is eager to kick on next campaign and put up a genuine fight for the Premier League title.

"The main aim was to get back into the Champions League," the striker told the club's official website.

"It was very important because one year [out of the competition] was far too much for this club. So that was our main objective, to bring Champions League football back, and we've done that.

"Now we want to go and win the last game of the season and then next season we really want to push for silverware. We're establishing a very good squad who I believe can go on and win silverware next year."
